EXCITING JOB OP: ENGINEERING RSCH. ASST.
David Kanter
ENGINEERING RESEARCH ASSISTANT
PHYSIOLOGICAL SENSOR DESIGN FOR EDUCATION RESEARCH PROJECT
JOB DESCRIPTION:
We are looking for an individual to contribute to the technology-based
component of the "I,Bio" human biology curriculum project. You will
join a multidisciplinary research team of engineers, educational researchers,
and teachers from Chicago's public schools, as we engage in this extraordinary
adventure in educational reform [Northwestern's Centers for Bioengineering
Educational Technologies (www.vanth.org), and Learning Technologies in
Urban Schools (www.letus.org)]. The described position will focus
on developing a unique piece of hardware with which middle school children
will take physiological data on their own bodies.
QUALIFICATIONS:
The qualified student is an undergraduate engineer (any year) with
a strong interest in education. This individual should be enthusiastic
to draw from her or his skills in electrical, mechanical, or biomedical
engineering (any of these) to design, refine, build, and test a physiological
sensor for use in a novel educational setting. Relevant skill set
includes basic electronics experience and, in general, just plain liking
to "make stuff." The qualified individual is excited to explore this
unique application for their engineering abilities as they apply to education.
This position could be work-study or non-work-study.
PAY RATE:
Pay rate increases beyond $8/hr with relevant experience.
