You are in the Top 10 Engineering Schools!
“This unscientific, short list is based on interviews
with engineering departments at two top schools
(MIT and Stanford) plus US News and World
Report's famous annual list”.
Once again, UMD has made Sierra
Club's list of Top 100 Green Schools.
The University of Minnesota Duluth has once again been
named a "Cool School" on the Sierra Club's List of The
Top 100 Green Schools. The list recognizes educational
institutions and individuals across the country that
demonstrate new and innovative approaches to school
sustainability, environmental initiatives and a
commitment to leading the way in energy and
environmental design. September 01, 2016
UMD is ranked 76 ahead of MIT, Brown Univ., etc. and
None from the state of Minnesota.

20th Century's Greatest
Engineering Achievements
13 of them belong to IEEE
(1,5,6,8,9,10,12,13,14,15,16,18,19)
Biomedical Sciences & Engineering
“Biomedical engineering (BME) is a
discipline that advances knowledge in
engineering, biology and medicine, and
improves human health through cross-
disciplinary activities that integrate the
engineering sciences with the biomedical
sciences and clinical practice”.

What is Prosthetics?
Biomedical Sciences and Engineering
Prosthetics is the surgical and dental
specialties concerned with artificial
replacement of missing parts.
Prosthesis is an artificial leg, arm, or any
other missing body part.
Prosthetic: relating to prosthetics or
prosthesis

“Military to Fund Prosthetics
Research” * “DoD is embarking on
multi-million dollar research program to revolutionalize upper-body prosthetics after a surge in troops who have lost hands and arms in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars”.
“Pentagon to spend $35Mto develop artificial arms “feel, look, perform” like a real arm guided by the central nervous system”.

Fresh from the Press: 1/2 – June 2014
“The End of Disability Prosthetics and
neural interfaces will do away with
biology’s failings” by Eliza Strickland –
IEEE Spectrum: The Future We
Deserve-The Next 50 years, June 2014
“Fifty years out, I think we will have
largely eliminated disability”
NO ACHILLES’ HEELS: Aimee Mullins and Hugh Herr foresee a day when upgrading a
body is routine. Mullins, an actress and advocate for advanced prosthetics, was the first
double amputee to compete at the highest levels of U.S. collegiate track-and-field events.
