Year 5 were very lucky this week to have the opportunity to meet Eleanor Mackle, a biomedical engineer, currently studying towards her PhD in medical physics at UCL. Eleanor works in a team that develops devices to monitor blood flow during heart surgery. Eleanor’s role in the team is to make 3D printed models of the blood vessels to aid understanding and test the devices. Year 5 were able to hear all about her role and find out about what biomedical engineers do. They asked many excellent questions impressing us all! Year 5 will now be identifying problems and inventing the solutions to them as they take part in the Engineer Leaders Award. Good luck to them all.
