I am excited for this summer experience with the CCEFP REU
program!
I will soon begin my PhD in Industrial and Systems
Engineering after having completed a Math degree from Spelman College and
Industrial and Systems Engineering degree from North Carolina A&T!
Having a limited scope on fluid power only serves to make
this summer's discoveries that much more exciting. I look forward to all there
is to learn over the next 10 weeks and can hopefully apply much of it towards
my doctoral studies.
When I first started this summer, here at North Carolina
A&T, I discovered that our project is centered around correlating hydraulic
systems within a Hoyer Patient Lift to the principles and concepts of Human
Factors and Ergonomics! You can say that this area is the "bread and
butter" of an Industrial Engineer! By utilizing a user-centered
methodology, we plan to assist with the advancement of employing Hoyer patient
lifts within hospitals.
More to come soon!
