Show DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE 4 DESIGN Continued from page 1 The U started offering a class in 2012 immersing five bioengineering and five design students in a hospital environment. Students observe medical situations, find problems that need to be solved and pitch products or ideas to solve these problems. Hitchcock said the designers help the engineers under- stand the design and human factors to the ideas. "[Engineers and designers] try to converge on a situation from different starting points," Hitchcock said. "They are very complementary." Agutter said the aim of the class is to help students understand the complexities of a health care environment. At the end of the class, the students' ideas are still concepts and can be further developed in course work, competitions or through other resources at the U. This semester, design students are working with Camp Kostopulos to design a product to help some of the campers communicate while riding horses for therapy. Agutter said some children at the camp with severe autism need tools to communicate, and they are not able to ride horses and use their communication tools at the Tuesday, March same time. Design students went to the camp and learned about the animal therapy and the communication issues the children face. Now the students are working on a device to hold a tool — such as an iPad — on the saddle while children ride. "[The goal is to] work with the client to see if there is an outlet for these devices," Agutter said. "In the case of Camp Kostopulos, they are AWARDS interested in manufacturing the devices." Tsoutsounakis said other design students are working on developing prosthetic limbs and methods to measure glucose levels in developing countries. "We are looking into the social issues and not just the pretty design," Tsoutsounakis said. She said the national demand for product designers is high and the local demand 2013 is starting to grow. "Any time there is an object or a thing there is a designer behind it," Tsoutsounakis said. "There are a lot of different product design jobs." The program is accepting applications, and the first class will start in Fall 2013, Tsoutsounakis said. The department is expecting to accept 15 to 20 students into the program. t.webb@ chronicle.utah.edu /•••••,' Continued from page 1 including cliff jumping and tent camping.

Keck Foundations to assist in providing educational materials for length scales. The assistance is given to the U and community and fouryear schools across the nation. The Nanofab lab enables researchers to engineer and develop microscopic materials and nanoscale materials from molecules or atoms. The lab develops computer chips that illustrate how the performance of a material changes with shape and size. Local and regional institutional partners will receive the chips to use in their own classrooms. by Marjorie Clark meet. a !Rue idiUelspeaktwitter need more tweets? ÷" ,; mothertwvckerL vvi tte rtweet tweetlemaniactyyYipt OA speak twitter heard on t - ' er RT L,eatmotngrt er t) h( @thedirOnri,rs? h need mo et twee tweet a it r LI IC: LVV, LVV twee INTERNS AND DJs WANTED! r speak twitter , 1 6 7r GROUP LEADERS (10.15 kids) for SLC School District After School program 19.5 hrs/wk; M•TH 2:30.5:30/6pm and Fridays 12:30-5:30/6pm.
