The Sentinel      I wanted to share the work that me and my senior design team ( Ian Hunter, Tyler Morris, Christopher Kiener ) have been developing since the start of our senior year.      We have been working on a COVID-19 screening device capable of determining more accurately if the user might be infected with COVID-19 than conventional methods.

As a ME, you could be designing the newest medical equipment on specific software or actually machining a new part that you are working on. As a CE, instead of creating a piece of new medical equipment you could be designing the infrastructure of a building or inspecting the ground of a new construction. In general, you can relate most tasks with other branches of engineering without getti...
