Introduction

A thesis or dissertation, as some people would like to call it, is an integral part of the Radiology curriculum, be it MD, DNB, or DMRD. We have tried to aggregate radiology thesis topics from various sources for reference.

Not everyone is interested in research, and writing a Radiology thesis can be daunting. But there is no escape from preparing, so it is better that you accept this bitter truth and start working on it instead of cribbing about it (like other things in life. #PhilosophyGyan!)

Start working on your thesis as early as possible and finish your thesis well before your exams, so you do not have that stress at the back of your mind. Also, your thesis may need multiple revisions, so be prepared and allocate time accordingly.

Tips for Choosing Radiology Thesis and Research Topics

Keep it simple silly (kiss).

Retrospective > Prospective

Retrospective studies are better than prospective ones, as you already have the data you need when choosing to do a retrospective study. Prospective studies are better quality, but as a resident, you may not have time (, energy and enthusiasm) to complete these.

Choose a simple topic that answers a single/few questions

Original research is challenging, especially if you do not have prior experience. I would suggest you choose a topic that answers a single or few questions. Most topics that I have listed are along those lines. Alternatively, you can choose a broad topic such as “Role of MRI in evaluation of perianal fistulas.”

You can choose a novel topic if you are genuinely interested in research AND have a good mentor who will guide you. Once you have done that, make sure that you publish your study once you are done with it.

Get it done ASAP.

In most cases, it makes sense to stick to a thesis topic that will not take much time. That does not mean you should ignore your thesis and ‘Ctrl C + Ctrl V’ from a friend from another university. Thesis writing is your first step toward research methodology so do it as sincerely as possible. Do not procrastinate in preparing the thesis. As soon as you have been allotted a guide, start researching topics and writing a review of the literature.

At the same time, do not invest a lot of time in writing/collecting data for your thesis. You should not be busy finishing your thesis a few months before the exam. Some people could not appear for the exam because they could not submit their thesis in time. So DO NOT TAKE thesis lightly.

Do NOT Copy-Paste

Reiterating once again, do not simply choose someone else’s thesis topic. Find out what are kind of cases that your Hospital caters to. It is better to do a good thesis on a common topic than a crappy one on a rare one.

Books to help you write a Radiology Thesis

Event country/university has a different format for thesis; hence these book recommendations may not work for everyone.

2021/2022 Medical Technology Capstone Projects

Our capstone projects have a focus on medical technologies and devices, as well as health and multidisciplinary projects. Projects come from academics and companies, thereby giving students the opportunity to work on and provide solutions to relevant issues and questions.

Project List

1—clemex microscope enclosure.

Clemex Technologies Inc.

matthieug [at] clemex.com (Matthieu Guihard)

Clemex is presently building its own microscope dedicated to specific needs, the objective being to reduce the overall cost of such system for a particular industry.

As seen in the image, the system involves a X/Y stage, a light path (objective, lens and tube, camera, ring light) and a motorized Z-Axis, all assembled on a common plate.

The proof of concept has been done and works. Only the motorized Z-axis will be changed during the summer rendering the system more compact.

Next step of the project will be to design and build an appealing enclosure that merges functionalities such as hardware settings, stage mobility, sample accessibility, visual appearance and other requirements as described in a future specifications document.

Introduction

SCIREQ Inc. is a recognized world leader in the respiratory research community as a producer of innovative tools that help scientists acquire novel insights into the lungs. The use of rodents and other small animals in respiratory research has been vital in leading to scientific discovery and development benefitting humankind. Whole body plethysmography (WBP) is a standard method for studying pulmonary function in conscious, spontaneously breathing laboratory subjects. The barometric plethysmography technique measures flow and pressure changes that occur while the subject is breathing, before and after exposure to a pharmaceutical or other challenges. WBP is the least invasive method of studying pulmonary function and consists of placing the subject in a chamber, where they can move freely and explore while a pressure transducer measures the flow and pressure changes caused by their breathing. It is often used for longitudinal studies where the subjects are studied for multiple hours on successive experiment days.

Why a Test Load?

In plethysmography, it is difficult to troubleshoot some issues because the signals generated by the subjects can be noisy due to a number of factors such as the lab environment, movement of the subject etc. A test load is used to model the the expected usage of equipment, by simulating the signals the equipment is designed to measure. For the case of WBP, the test load would need to simulate a small animal’s breathing patterns. Currently, we are using a 1 mL syringe to simulate a signal for our WBP by oscillating the plunger rapidly, which is not very accurate. It is difficult to accurately test the system when the signal itself is not consistent. Having a characterized test load will help with in-house testing, calibration and trouble shooting at customer sites.

Capstone Project

The goal of the CAPSTONE project is to develop a test load for use with WBP systems. The test load should be able to generate flows using an actuator at various frequencies. The design must meet a specific set of criteria in the areas of size, flow generation, system integration, manufacturability, cost, and ease of use. Your design will be tested by SCIREQ engineers and has the potential for becoming a standard product that is shipped with every WBP sale.

You will get to work with our team of engineers in a collaborative Agile work environment and be able to leverage our manufacturers’ capabilities to make your design a reality. As your mentors, we are available to you for questions, discussion, and regular project meetings. We are looking for an innovative, motivated team who want to make a global impact with this practical research application. Working with SCIREQ, you will gain valuable hands-on experience, joining a diverse and inclusive team whose philosophy is rooted in courtesy, honesty, integrity, and fairness.

3—Development of Rat "Soft Restraint" for Use in Inhilation/Exposure Tower

taylor.wilson [at] scireq.com (B) ben [at] scireq.com (en Urovitch)

SCIREQ Inc. is a recognized world leader in the respiratory research community as a producer of innovative tools that help scientists acquire novel insights into the lungs. The vital use of rodents and other small animals in respiratory research has led to scientific discovery and development benefitting humankind. One typical application is inhalation/exposure, where subjects are exposed to a controlled atmosphere, exploring the effects of external compounds (e.g., toxins, pharmaceuticals). Controlled inhalation/exposure is used to research asthma, pulmonary disorders, infectious disease, air pollutants, tobacco, cannabis, vaping, pharmaceutical development, among others. One method of controlled delivery is via a nose-only inhalation setup. Subjects are restrained, limiting exposure to their snout and allowing for more accurate results due to limited body exposure, more control, and lesser quantities of pharmaceuticals or toxins being used.

Restraints in Mice

An industry standard for exposure studies involves nose-only inhalation restraining devices which are typically rigid, fully enclosed, and include a plunger that forces the subject forward. This form of restriction may result in the subject producing irregular body heat or abnormal breathing. In extreme cases, the subject may attempt to retreat within the restraint, causing itself harm.

SCIREQ has developed SoftRestraints for mice to minimize some of the negative effects of typical restraints. The open mesh has proven to be gentler yet secure, imposing little-to-no compression to the torso and therefore does not impede chest movements. Subjects body is also exposed to the environment allowing for better heat dissipation.

The goal of the CAPSTONE project is to develop a soft restraint for rat use. Rats have unique challenges for restraining; their size, weight, and temperament being some. The restraint may follow SCIREQ’s pre-existing technology or could be an entirely new design. The approach and strategy is up to you. The design must meet a specific set of criteria in the areas of subject sizes, system integration, ability to sterilize, manufacturability, and ease of use. Consequently, your design will be tested by the technicians that work with live subjects and the researchers who use SCIREQ’s equipment.

4—Design and Optimization of Thought Technology eVu-TPS Physiological Sensor

Thought Technology Ltd.

hal [at] thoughttechnology.com (Dr. Hal Myers)

eVu-TPS was initially designed in 2007 and was one of the first Bluetooth-enabled finger-worn physiological monitoring devices. The unit monitors heart rate/HRV, finger temperature, skin conductance, and respiration from one fingertip and uses apps on Android, iPhones and PC’s to acquire and provide Biofeedback. It has been designed, along with all our equipment, to comply with medical regulatory requirements in many countries.

We are seeing an uptake by clinicians in the use of the devices to remotely train their patients, mostly because of Covid-19, because of the relatively low cost and ease of use compared to our general line of products.

Currently, our manufacturing cost with all packaging and isolated charger costs is too high compared to desired market retail price. Our engineering team believes this cost is achievable with some of the following changes:

• Change the design from an architecture incorporating front end signal monitoring and a separate analog to digital converter and microprocessor to using the capabilities of some BLE Bluetooth chips to perform these functions, thereby eliminating a significant amount of circuitry.
• Since the original design incorporated a standard Bluetooth module, it required a battery capable of significant power. The new design will use BLE, so the size and cost of the battery can be reduced.
• Change the PPG (photoplethysmograph) monitoring from discrete Infrared LED/photocell components to an inexpensive all-in-one module that monitors not only PPG, but also oximetry.
• Consider incorporating EKG monitoring using a finger on the opposite hand touched to a conductive part of the case.
• Redesign the printed circuit board layout and finger plate electrodes to be easily manufacturable in quantity.
• Redesign the case to be thinner and less obtrusive.
• Redesign the charging technique. The goal is to charge directly from a 5v USB-type source to a case that would isolate the fingers from the electrodes.

Preferable Qualifications of ECE Students

• Electronic design experience, ideally for low-level biologic signals
• Firmware experience
• Some app development skills - although the app is already developed, we may need to add the extra EKG signal.

Preferable Qualifications of MECH Students

Industrial design to make the case smaller and easier to manufacture

• Parts for prototypes
• Guidance by an experienced team of electrical, mechanical, and firmware engineers. The exciting opportunities for those working on this project includes the opportunity to design a product for real-world applications, thus preparing them to move easily into companies requiring these skills.

Non-Disclosure Agreement Requirement

Since this project is a currently sold product, we require a non-disclosure agreement from students and faculty working on the project, and the requirement that if students want to present the project to others, that circuitry be shown only in block diagram form without schematics or specific components or firmware.

5—Design and Implementation of State-of-the-art Medical Device MEMS Sensor Interface

nizar.kezzo [at] nxtsens.com (Nizar Kezzo)

An emerging field of microscopic devices that combine both mechanical and electrical components is seen across a wide range of industries including the biomedical field. These devices are known as Micro Electro-Mechanical System or MEMS. MEMS are able to sense, control and actuate on the micro scale and generate effects on the macro scale [1]. The highly miniaturized and integrated MEMS devices are used to add ‘eyes and ears’ to medical equipment. The ability to actively monitor biometric patient data in real-time can provide great benefit to physicians, first responders, and medical professionals everywhere in their mission to improve patient outcomes.

Our flagship product, the MY01 device, is one such example. MY01 is an FDA approved biomedical pressure monitor, which functions by inserting an active pressure sensor into the patient’s muscle. Continuous pressure readings serve as an aide to diagnosis of Acute Compartment Syndrome (ACS) [2], which is dangerous and difficult-to-detect condition prevalent in patients suffering from high-energy trauma such as bone fractures.

The MY01 device uses a MEMS sensor to measure pressure in the patient’s muscle. MY01 Inc. is seeking to further improve the accuracy and reliability of the MEMS element to deliver next generation ACS diagnostic tools to the hands of physicians. The scope of the project includes designing a MEMS sensor interface development board alongside a user application. The development board shall explore different MEMS sensor and interface architectures. This will involve an embedded system design.

We are seeking a team to work with us in developing new and improved ways of interfacing technology with the human body. This project aims to further unlock the potential of modern sensors in the biomedical field by offering enhanced visibility in difficult-to-access areas of our anatomy.

6—Conceptual Design of Cutting-Edge Insertion Methods for Modern Biomedical Sensors

christopher.agellon [at] nxtsens.com (Christopher Agellon)

Advancements in modern sensing technology creates the need for new and innovative methods for in-vivo implantation of biomedical sensing elements. The ability to actively monitor biometric patient data in real-time can provide great benefit to physicians, first responders, and medical professionals everywhere in their mission to improve patient outcomes.

MY01 Inc. is seeking to design and prototype safe and effective tools to “introduce” or “insert” our cutting-edge sensors into patients in need of enhanced monitoring capabilities. The envisioned system should be portable, light-weight, intuitive to use, and can be administered with a high degree of reliability.

Our flagship product, the MY01 device, is one such example. MY01 is an FDA approved biomedical pressure monitor, which functions by inserting an active pressure sensor into the patient’s muscle. Continuous pressure readings serve as an aide to diagnosis of Acute Compartment Syndrome (ACS) [1], which is dangerous and difficult-to-detect condition prevalent in patients suffering high-energy trauma such as bone fractures.

The Motivation

Currently in North America, there is a lack of ophthalmologists. We are creating a remote and asynchronous eye exam to assist ophthalmologists and help patients. Patients will access our imaging device at their local medical centers. The captured data will then be sent to an ophthalmologist who can diagnose the patient equivalently to an in-person slit lamp exam.

Hardware component (2 MECH students): Students will be tasked to build a state-of-the-art imaging device utilizing pre-existing imaging technology that has not been exploited in the field of ophthalmology. Students will use their experience and creativity to design, build and optimize an optical system with this new technology for front of the eye diagnosis.

Software component (2 ECE students): Develop a data processing method for the raw data collected by the novel imaging device. Downstream goals for the software will be to manipulate and transform imaging data to allow for a dynamic eye exam with a user interface equivalent to the slit lamp exam.

Requirements: Looking for students with an interest in domain-specific data compression, use of GPU, field logic array, mathematics, Python or C, and/or miniaturization (previous experience in any of these fields is an asset).

8—Design and Integration of an Automatic Sash Positioning System

rrivera [at] bedco.ca (Robert Rivera)

Bedcolab is a manufacturer of laboratory casework systems and fume hoods for research centers. We service universities, the pharma and biotech industries as well as government and other industrial labs.

We are looking to update our Vanguard line of fume hoods. Our objective is twofold. Technically, we wish to design and integrate a more cost-effective sash positioning and closing system that would involve motion detection and possibly electro-magnetic applications. From a design perspective, our objective is to give our hood facing a more technical appearance. Because the sash positioning system will be integrated in the sash, and will impact the esthetics of the hood facia, we feel that both objectives will need to be addressed simultaneously.

The project will involve two teams: Mechanical Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering. Both teams should work in close collaboration and coordination.

Deliverables

• To design a sash positioning mechanism and integrate it into existing fume hood (MECH);
• To modify existing design of the fume hood, as needed, to accommodate the new positioning system without altering the performance of the fume hood (MECH);
• To select and integrate sensors needed for the position control (MECH, ECE);
• To develop control algorithms for sash positioning with motion detection feedback (ECE);
• To design and integrate electrical/electronic control system (ECE).  

9—Design and Validation of a Minimally Invasive Hallux Valgus Correction System

Pega Medical

melinda.a [at] pegamedical.com (Melinda Ayvazian, Eng.)

Under the supervision of Pega Medical, the engineering team will be challenged to develop and optimize the design of implants and instruments necessary for the minimally invasive treatment of Hallux Valgus, based on the Bosch percutaneous technique, and device idea presented by Dr. Gdalevitch, MD, FRCS(C).

The objectives of the project are to work within ISO13485 requirements to build the DHF/DMR of the product, complete the design of a minimally invasive implant, with possible IP protection, complete the design of a functional external fixator system and all annex instrumentation, and validate the design in the operating theater with the collaborating surgeon.

Description of Design Component

• Rapid prototyping of parts (if applicable)
• Testing of preliminary implant models and instrument models
• Clinical validation of system with collaborating surgeon

PHASE 5: Final Concept of the Implant

• Optimization of final concept of the implant

Economic and Societal Impacts

The current market for Hallux Valgus correction proposes over a hundred different techniques, but no clear consensus on the best approach to treatment. The majority of techniques are open techniques with either plate or screw devices being used for fixation of the bone’s segments after correction of the IM and HV angles. The objective of the new medical device would be to offer a unique percutaneous device that will correct the deformity by application of translation and rotation around the CORA, maintain the ROM of the first toe, reduce affect on surrounding soft tissues, reduce pain of the patient, and reduce the risk of reoccurrence of the deformity.

10—OpSens Guidewire Shaping Tool

maxime.pdeland [at] opsens.com (Maxime Picard-Deland) , Medical Technology Specialist

OpSens Inc. is a manufacturer of interventional guidewires instrumented with fiber-optic sensors. One application of such wire is to support the delivery of heart valve prosthesis in a patient by a transcatheter approach, i.e. by guiding the prosthesis in the blood vessels. This minimally invasive procedure allows to replace a diseased heart valve through a small incision in the patient skin, instead of an open-chest surgery. The pressure sensor at the tip of OpSens guidewires allows to measure the pressure drop induced by the diseased valve, and to compare it with that of the new prosthesis. This pressure gradient and other pressure-based clinical metrics are important information to guide the physician clinical decisions.

OpSens has already developed a straight guidewire for the replacement of aortic valves. The company wants to develop a new guidewire with a curved shape that would allow to guide valve prosthesis through more complicated access, such as the transseptal access for mitral valve replacement. Ideally, the straight guidewire would be modified by a tool at the end of the fabrication steps to give it the desired curved shape, thus minimizing modifications to assembly lines. This tool could also be provided directly to the hospitals, allowing the physician to shape the guidewire with a curve specific to the patient anatomy.

The main objective of the project is to design a tool that allows shaping a curve into a 0.035" OD guidewire by inducing a controlled plastic deformation to the guidewire, without damaging the PTFE coating. Secondary objectives are: 1) to model the shaping parameters with the guidewire mechanical properties, allowing to shape different guidewire products into different curves, and 2) to provide a tooling concept that can be used in a sterile environment by the end-user (the physician).

11—Development of Anthropomorphic and Tissue-Mimicking Dynamic Arterial Phantoms

rosaire.mongrain [at] mcgill.ca (Prof. Rosaire Mongrain)

For surgical training, virtual surgical planning and numerical model validation, reproducible synthetic arterials mockups (phantoms) are needed. These models need to replicate the mechanical properties of native tissue (hyperelastic, anisotropic, heterogeneous). The large deformation, the layered structure and pathological degradation of the vessel need to be mimicked. In this regard, we initiated the development of anthropomorphic tissue-mimicking mockups (TMM) that exhibit the major mechanical, anatomical and pathological characteristics of vessels. The TMM is made of a cryogel, polyvinyl alcohol cryogel (PVA-C), which has excellent biocompatibility and is suitable for imaging modalities. By varying the parameters during cryogel fabrication, it possible to tailor the mechanical strength of PVA-C to that of human arteries. The project aims particularly at developing a dedicated CAM to activate the phantom and reproduce the physiological displacements of the myocardium wall during heart beat contractions.

12—Development of a Natural Energy Powered Ventilator

The project consists of designing a low-cost yet efficient mechanical ventilator for use in localities where modern conditions of steady reliable electric grid is not available. The ventilator must be compact and must not require electricity. The device should utilize any energy source readily available such as human power, water current, wind, etc. The main challenge is to design the product with high medical standards while maintaining a flexible range of operation to minimize adverse effects of mechanical ventilation. The technology aims at combining Zeolite materials to enhance O2 concentration and exploit the ventilator rotor concept to generate the needed conception. The Capstone project aims at developing further concepts, optimizing and testing the design for the target operating regime (0-40 cmH2O, up to 1000 ml, respiratory rate 4-45 bpm, flow rates 0-100 lpm). The main objective is to design parts of the new ventilator, assemble and test the ventilator efficiency.

13—Design of a Drug-Eluting Coating for Vascular Technology using Carbon Nanotubes

Implanted medical devices (stents, heart valves, heart pump[s) are usually coated for releasing medical compounds to control thrombogenesis (blood clots) and inflammation. Current coatings technologies rely on polymer carrier (porous or in solution). These are associated with limitations (toxicity, carrying capacity) which restrict its use to certain conditions.

We developed a new paradigm for drug elution based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The concept is to generate a controlled density and intertwined structure of CNTs to achieve entrapment of the chemical compound (in analogy to a carpet structure). Preliminary results have shown the potential of the concept for controlled retention and release of a drug compound.

The objective is to design a testing rig to assess the drug elution from the nano-coating. This needs to reproduce the artery flow flow conditions and allow for fluid sampling for the concentration analysis.

14—Addition of Abdominal Muscles into a Robotic Spine

mark.driscoll [at] mcgill.ca (Prof. Mark Driscoll)

In the Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Research Lab (MD 163) there is a robotic spine which is driven by pneumatic muscle contractions. In brief, an air compressor fills the muscle bladders imparting controlled contraction of select muscles related to spine. In turn, this moves and controls the position of the robotic spine upon which we can conduct experiments. However, the robotic spine is missing a “six pack” (muscles not …) while its abdominal region is present. The role of the Capstone team will be to figure out how to include the presence of abdominal muscles (rectus and transverse abdominus as well as internal and external obliques) into the robotic spine. Ideally, they should have an active element to them in order to control contractions. They may also be adjustably passive. The Capstone team are encouraged to dream up any solution they come up with! Specifically, the team are expected to study the problem at hand, propose their own solution, build it, and then test it. Many solutions are feasible and the team of the Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Research Lab look forward to working with the selected group.

15—Safety Assessment of Robotic Spine Set-Up

In research, safety should always be a forefront consideration. In the Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Research Lab (MD 163) there is a robotic spine which is driven by pneumatic muscle contractions. In brief, an air compressor fills the muscle bladders imparting controlled contraction of select muscles related to spine. In turn, this moves and controls the position of the robotic spine upon which we can conduct experiments. The Capstone project will consist of assessing the current experimental set up in order to make safety recommendations should the system ever fail. That is the project consists of interpreting, proposing, developing, and testing a failsafe system in place. The Capstone team are encouraged to think outside the box. For example, the solution could be an accessible enclosure which only allows experiments to be conducted when secured. Many alternatives exist. The team will be responsible for determining the specifications and will be given independence towards what solution they converge on to best meet the clients “want”.

16—Oscillating Device for Postural Correction of Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders and Obstructive Sleep Apnea

natalie.reznikov [at] mcgill.ca (Prof. Natalie Reznikov)

This oscillating device is a physiotherapy appliance for clinical conditions having abnormal muscular tone in the face and neck region and a habitual (acquired) abnormal position of the lower jaw (mandible) and neck. The first prototype has been designed and assembled by a Capstone team in 2020-2021 . This is the the second iteration of the project where we expect to improve the performance and physical characteristics of the device.

This biomedical device lowers the muscular tone of the craniofacial complex by applying mechanical vibrations in the range 100-300 Hz. Such vibrations induce relief in habitual muscular tone and thus alleviate posteriorly misplaced (retrognathic) occlusion of the mandible, and clenching of teeth. When the mandible regains its physiologic position where teeth are normally out of contact at rest, the backwards displacement of the tongue and the pharynx is also expected to diminish – thus improving breathing. It is expected that applying vibration in short bouts will alleviate dental clenching, temporomandibular joint pain and dysfunction, obstructive sleep apnea, certain varieties of neck pain, and will improve head posture and facial appearance in the subject.

Expected improvements of the design:

• alternative source of vibrations within approximately the same range of frequency and amplitude;
• weight reduction;
• noise reduction;
• anatomically accurate design of contact parts;
• implementation of safety measures;
• aesthetically gratifying layout.

The final design should be suitable for clinical trials on healthy and affected volunteers.

Current appearance of the device:

17—Epipen Redesign

moshe.ben-shoshan [at] mcgill.ca (Dr. Moshe Ben-Shoshan) and mark.driscoll [at] mcgill.ca (Prof. Mark Driscoll)

Current auto deployment epinephrine devices are bulky and expensive. These devices must be carried by those with severe allergies in order to halt an anaphylaxis reaction, should one occur. These devises comprise a fixed dose of epinephrine, a pre-loaded mechanism to deploy a needle of fixed length, and a means to deliver the epinephrine through the needle when deployed. Many other design solutions present feasible alternatives to the conventional designs used in market today. The role of the present design project would be to miniaturize the above design while maintaining the same reliable outcome. Furthermore, a means of auto emergency notifications should also be integrated into the design.

18—Accurate Dosing for Oral Immunotherapy

moshe.ben-shoshan [at] mcgill.ca (Dr. Moshe Ben-Shoshan)  and  mark.driscoll [at] mcgill.ca (Prof. Mark Driscoll)

Food allergies are very prevalent in Canada with over 3 million know cases while anaphylaxis is increasing annually. This poses a particular challenge both in management and treatment. Over the last decade a trend in deterrent treatments has been adopted where allergens, in controlled amounts, are given to the patient with the goal of desensitization. This is known as oral immunotherapy (OIT). The challenge with this process is the ability to provide controlled amounts of the allergen to the patient. More specifically, for example, only [0.03-0.1] mg of egg or milk protein can elicit a reaction. This provides a target desensitization of at least multiple times these amounts to offer protection, with a safety factor, when considering accidents or cross contaminations. Thus, it is the objective of the capstone group to devise a means to enable accurate dossing of common allergens with the aspiration of facilitating and encouraging more widespread practice of OIT.

19—Design and Manufacture of a Prototype 3D Bioprinting Device

showan.nazhat [at] mcgill.ca (Prof. Showan Nazhat)

The aim of this MEDTEC capstone design project is to build a prototype biofabrication/3D bioprinting instrument based on a McGill-led technology, gel aspiration-ejection (GAE). GAE has been demonstrated to be highly effective in generating tissue-like bioinks based on fibrillar collagen and other proteins. In the GAE approach, precursor isotropic hydrogels, prefabricated from a range of collagen concentrations, are aspirated into a capillary through the application of negative pressure, thereby simultaneously inducing both compaction and mesoscale anisotropy on the hydrogel. This is facilitated by aspirating the fibrillar collagen component of the hydrogel into the capillary thereby expelling the excess casting fluid used in the collagen self-assembly process. By subsequent reversal of the pressure, dense collagen gels can be controllably ejected. Precise bioink properties can be predicted through a mathematical compaction factor whereby collagen bioinks with modular density and anisotropy, seeded cell density and temporal functionality can be modelled and biofabricated.

The capstone project team will ideally be composed of four highly motivated engineering students, one student each from Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Bioengineering to collaborate on designing and building the prototype instrument.

20—Design and Prototyping of a Dynamic Range of Motion Assessment Tool for the Shoulder

carl.laverdiere [at] mail.mcgill.ca (Carl Laverdière) , Orthopaedic Surgery resident (main contact person) paul.martineau [at] mcgill.ca (Dr. Paul Martineau) , Orthopaedic Surgeon

It is clinically challenging to measure the range of motion of patient’s limbs consistently between observers. At the moment, the two best tools to assess range of motion while following a patient is a goniometer (pretty archaic, look it up) or eyeballing (obviously inaccurate).

Thus, the objective of this project is to design an apparatus capable of quantifying and tracking the range of motion of the arm from the shoulder joint quickly and accurately. The characteristics needed from the clients are quantitative data in 3 dimensions (x,y,z), a graphical representation of this data as well as a mean to compare with previous tests performed by the same patient. The design team is welcome to brainstorm on potential solution, however they need to keep in mind the portability, ease of use in the clinical setting as well as cost.

The aim is for this device to be used in the orthopaedics clinic to quantitively assess the patients pre-operatively, post-operatively and throughout their rehabilitation process to help the patients get better.

21—Design of Intervertebral Disc Bioreactor with Precise Complex Loadings

jianyu.li [at] mcgill.ca (Dr. Jianyu Li) , Lab of Biomaterials Engineering, Faculty of Engineering

Damage of Intervertebral discs (IVDs) have been proven to cause lower back pain. One of the major causes of IVD damages is the complex mechanical loadings experienced during daily activities. This complex loading includes axial compression, torsion, flexion, extension, and lateral bending. To understand the effect of complex mechanical loadings to IVD damage and develop effective treatments, ex vivo culturing of the entire disc organ using bioreactors are in high demand. Though the effect of static and dynamic axial compression has been studied extensively, little is known about the biomechanical response of IVD under the condition of dynamic complex loadings. Due to this fact, it is necessary to develop an IVD bioreactor capable of applying these complex load cases. This project aims to develop a new organ culture loading system with high loading accuracy and resolution. The loading system is expected to consist closed-loop control with real-time load and displacement readouts. The culture system is expected to have the ability to accommodate for both human and bovine IVDs. It is necessary to be biocompatible and include culture media and gas exchange systems. The performance of this bioreactor will be further validated in parallel ex vivo studies of bovine IVD and will be later incorporated with cell-laden hydrogels to study the effects of dynamic biomechanical environments on cellular functions.

22—An In-Vitro Testing Platform for Evaluating the Sealing Performance of Adhesive Sealants

jianyu.li [at] mcgill.ca (Dr. Jianyu Li) , Department of Mechanical Engineering and Department of Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering

Wound closure is a fundamental and practically important problem, underpinning many health issues such as hemorrhage, which account for 10% of death globally, thus calling for strong and robust adhesive sealants. The commercially available tissue sealants such as TISSEEL, COSEAL and DURASEAL are commonly used for halting the surgical bleeding and closing the wound. Naturally, human body produces biological sealants such as blood clot, which also plays an important role in hemostasis and wound healing. The cohesion and adhesion energies are important metrics for evaluating the sealing performances of the above-mentioned adhesive sealants. However, due to their ultra-soft and brittle nature, the conventional testing specimen for measuring adhesion energy, such as the peeling test, is not applicable. It is therefore desired to design a novel testing apparatus which can accurately measure the adhesion/cohesion energies of the sealants regardless of their softness and brittleness. The project requires four undergraduate students to design and prototype a testing platform which can be used to measure the adhesion energy of the adhesive sealants. Briefly, the testing platform includes bulging up a thin film of adhesive sealant by pumping in liquid and using cameras to capture the bulging profile, from which the adhesion energy of the adhesive can be estimated. The tasks include the design of the testing rig, 3D printing and assembly of the parts and camera calibration, and finally the validation test. The students will have the chance to work with mechanical engineers, bioengineers, chemists, biologists, and surgeons.

23—Utilizing Machine Learning Algorithms to Explore Aspects of Surgical Expertise on a VR/AR Surgical Spine Simulator

Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Research Lab - Professor Mark Driscoll and Sami Alkadri (PhD Student)

mark.driscoll [at] mcgill.ca (Prof. Mark Driscoll) , sami.alkadri [at] mail.mcgill.ca (Sami Alkadri) (PhD student)

Teaching hospitals are realizing the risk of conventional surgical training methods; thus, researchers are exploring the promising results exhibited by virtual reality (VR) pilot training systems for its adaptation to the medical field. The great complexity and high demand of spinal surgeries led to the increased interests in developing novel VR simulators for spinal procedures. Recently, machine learning algorithms are coupled to surgical simulators to give further insights into aspects of the surgical performance that differentiate levels of expertise. Often, deeper subsets of machine learning, such as artificial neural networks (ANNs), might be needed to correctly learn complex non-linear patterns within the given dataset. When combined to virtual reality surgical simulators, the algorithm not only has the potential to correctly predict the different surgical classes, but it can also provide a deeper insight into the impact of the different performance metrics on the classifications. The outlined project is part of the development of a VR/AR surgical training platform to train orthopedic and neurosurgeons in advanced spinal surgery techniques. The platform is developed by McGill University in affiliation with CAE Healthcare and DePuy Synthes (part of Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices).

Project objectives include developing and employing multiple machine learning algorithms and subsequently compare their performance to the already developed Neural Network Model. Furthermore, explore data augmentation techniques to amplify the small dataset deployed in the project.

Students with machine learning and computational background is preferred.

24—In-Vivo Low Profile Percutaneous Tissue Homogenizer

louis-martin.boucher [at] mcgill.ca (Prof. Louis-Martin Boucher)

The goal of the project is to be able to generate a self-tumoral vaccine, in-vivo, by homogenizing/mixing an ablated tumor in the liver with an immuno-stimulant (adjuvant). Normally to do this, one would need to excise the tumor, homogenize it with the adjuvant ex-vivo and then use this as a vaccine. However, this demands very special techniques of sterility and tissue processing, not easily available and prohibitively costly.

In interventional radiology, we routinely ablate tumors in the liver, leaving the dead tumor in place. The idea is to try to use the dead tumor left in the liver to stimulate the immune system. This requires some mechanism to mix the ablated tumor in-vivo with the adjuvant. This would be done via a percutaneous access.

The system we are looking for is a low-profile system (that could be engaged through a 15g needle) into the ablated tumor under US guidance. Needle length would have to be approximately 20 cm in length. Once the homogenizer needle is in place it would have to be able to inject a specific volume of immunostimulator (gelified liquid) while mixing/homogenizing this with the ablated tumor. The system would need to be controllable in such a way that a relatively specific volume of tissue is mixed/homogenized so that we do not damage the normal liver around the ablated tumor, whether time based or speed based. Ideally, the system would need to be autoclavable/sterilizable.

We have published the idea in a previous publication. See "Carias et al., Ex Vivo Study of Experimental Method Toward Future In Vivo Tissue Processing for Self-Anti-Tumoral Vaccinations, Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 2021 May;44(5):818-821.doi: 10.1007/s00270-020-02736-7. Epub 2021 Jan 27." For this we used a basic thrombectomy device that consists of a rotating wire, but at low speed and which was insufficient to optimally mix the tumor with the gellified liquid. We are therefore at a road block presently and the design of this system will allow us to move forward in developing a technique to use someone's own ablated tumor, in-vivo, to generate a anti-self vaccine, allowing us to create personalized medicine with universal tools, a possible game-changer in the fight against cancer.

Capstone Project Ideas: 165 Topics Across Nursing, Marketing, Education, and More!

Capstone projects often require students to tackle real-world problems, providing practical solutions and insights that extend beyond the academic realm. They encourage a multidisciplinary approach, allowing students to apply knowledge and skills gained from various courses and disciplines, fostering a holistic understanding. 

Capstone projects contribute to professional development by simulating workplace scenarios, preparing students for challenges they might encounter in their future careers. If the scope of your capstone project feels daunting, remember, you can always ask for professional help with a simple request like "i want to pay someone to do my project ." In this article, we’ll explain the nature of this assignment and offer 100+ capstone project topic ideas so you can get inspired and motivated to get past the creative slowdown.

Definition and How to Choose a Great Topic for Capstone Project

First, let’s start by explaining what is a capstone project. By definition, it is a culminating and integrative academic experience that students undertake typically in their final year of study. It is designed to demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and competencies gained throughout a program of study. Capstone projects vary across disciplines and institutions, but they generally require students to apply what they have learned to address a real-world problem, conduct original research, or create a significant project.

Here are key components and steps to consider when choosing a great capstone project topic:

Relevance to Your Field of Study:

Choose a topic that aligns with your major or specialization. The capstone project should showcase your expertise and knowledge in your chosen field.

Personal Interest:

Select a topic that genuinely interests you. Your enthusiasm for the subject will sustain your motivation throughout the project, making the experience more rewarding.

Real-World Application:

Consider topics that have practical implications in the real world. This could involve addressing a problem, proposing a solution, or conducting research that has the potential to make a meaningful impact.

Identify a Gap or Problem:

Look for areas in your field where there might be gaps in knowledge or existing problems that need solutions. Your capstone project can contribute to filling these gaps or solving identified problems.

Feasibility:

Assess the feasibility of your project. Consider the resources, time, and access to data or materials that you will need. A feasible project is one that you can realistically complete within the given time frame and with the available resources.

Faculty Expertise:

Check if there are faculty members with expertise in your chosen area of interest. Having a mentor who is knowledgeable about your topic can provide valuable guidance and support.

Current Trends and Issues:

Stay updated on current trends, issues, and debates in your field. Choosing a topic that is relevant to contemporary discussions can make your project more engaging and meaningful.

Project Scope:

Define the scope of your project clearly. A well-defined and focused project is more likely to be successful than one that is too broad or vague.

Consult with Advisors:

Seek advice from your academic advisors or mentors. They can provide valuable insights, help you refine your ideas, and ensure that your project meets the academic standards of your institution.

Remember, the capstone project is not only a demonstration of your academic abilities but also an opportunity to explore, innovate, and contribute to your field of study. Choosing a great capstone project topic involves a balance between personal interest, academic relevance, and real-world applicability.

Capstone Project

The Capstone Project is a cornerstone of our program, offering students the chance to deeply engage with translational research topics they're passionate about. This endeavor spans the spectrum of therapeutics and diagnostics, including areas like drug therapy, vaccines, and gene therapy. It covers a wide array of research stages, from initial clinical translation to real-world application.

Time Commitment : Starting in the Winter Quarter and continuing through August 2025, students should plan for a minimum of 10 hours weekly on their project, with many dedicating more time to meet their objectives.

Projects may be laboratory-based (wet-lab or computational lab) or focus on clinical trials or regulatory aspects of translation. The culmination of the program includes a poster presentation and quarterly product development plan presentations. Unlike a thesis master's, the capstone emphasizes skill and knowledge application within a clinical context, supported by faculty mentorship and industry guidance.

Capstone Project Requirements

Areas of focus: Capstone projects should focus on therapeutics and/or diagnostics involving drug therapy and delivery, vaccines, immune measurements and therapy, or gene measurements and therapy, and can include a range of translational research activities from early-stage clinical translation (T0/T1) to preclinical optimization and validation (T2) to clinical validation and integration (T3) to implementation and dissemination in real-world settings (T4). The program is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to navigate the complex and dynamic landscape of biomedical innovation and translation.

The capstone research project typically takes place within Stanford faculty research labs. However, working professionals (students who are already employed at local drug or biotech companies) have the option to conduct their capstone within their respective companies, benefiting from industry and academic mentorship.

Initiating a project:

Before officially starting M-TRAM studies in the Fall, students engage in in-depth discussions with the M-TRAM leadership team regarding their interests, career aspirations, and potential project concepts (between May to September. Through mutual agreement between the student and M-TRAM, efforts are made to identify and assign the most suitable capstone advisor based on alignment of interests and expertise.  

During the fall quarter, students dedicate time to engaging in thorough discussions with their advisors regarding potential research project ideas. They delve into in-depth reading and exploration of various concepts, aiming to refine and solidify their understanding of their potential projects. This period serves as a crucial phase for students to narrow down their focus and lay the groundwork for their capstone proposals.

By the end of the first quarter, students are required to present their capstone project proposal to the M-TRAM directors and other students in the program.

The proposal and capstone advisor must be approved by the M-TRAM Directors prior to the onset of the project.  

Goals of the capstone project:   The capstone project serves as a bridge between scientific innovation and real-world application, providing students with a hands-on experience in navigating the journey from idea conception to patient delivery. It's essentially an exercise in contextualizing scientific ideas within the broader landscape of healthcare, understanding where it fits in, and devising a strategic development plan for a therapeutic/diagnostic.

Throughout the capstone, students learn how to translate scientific concepts into actionable plans that address unmet medical needs and improve patient outcomes. This involves conducting thorough research to identify the clinical relevance and market potential of their ideas, as well as understanding the regulatory and commercial considerations involved in bringing them to fruition.By engaging in the capstone project, students gain valuable skills in strategic planning, market analysis, and stakeholder communication. They learn how to formulate a development plan that outlines the pathway from concept to commercialization, including key milestones, resource requirements, and risk management strategies.

Overall, the capstone project provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the process of biomedical innovation, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to drive meaningful change in healthcare.  

Capstone Committee: At the end of the first quarter, students designate a Capstone faculty advisor, and a technology advisor (this could be scientific mentor, such as a core director or a postdoctoral project mentor).  

Project timeline and progress: The student, M-TRAM directors and the Capstone advisors agree on a proposed timeline for completion. The Committee will review the proposal and offer guidance and monitoring throughout the project. During quarters two through four (Winter, Spring, Summer), students will meet regularly with their capstone advisors to discuss their progress. At the end of each quarter, student will present their progress to the M-TRAM directors and other students.

Capstone completion: Upon completion of the project, students will formally present their final results at the student research showcase in the beginning of September following their graduation. In addition to the poster, students will be required to present their capstone progress at the end of each quarter (December, March and May).

Capstone Project Proposal Guidelines

• Student will regularly meet with the advisor(s) and M-TRAM leadership to monitor progress of their project and to provide advice and feedback
• The culmination of the program includes a poster presentation at the M-TRAM Symposium (beginning of September after graduation) and quarterly product development plan presentations.
• MTRAM will support each student's research with a research stipend of $3,500 (reagents, consumables, kits, services).

Sponsored School(s)

The Doctor of Nursing Practice DNP project represents the culmination of your doctoral studies and an opportunity for you to translate your acquired knowledge into practice. It is also the epitome of the practice-focused DNP and an essential part of the integrative practice experience. Preparing your DNP project is an exciting time, as it allows you to lay the groundwork for future scholarship while at the same time giving you a chance to make a potentially meaningful contribution to improving nursing practice and patient outcomes.

In a whitepaper published in August 2015 entitled The Doctor of Nursing Practice: Current Issues and Clarifying Recommendations , the AACN recommended that the DNP Project be referred to simply as the “DNP Project” as a way to distinguish it from final projects in other types of graduate programs. While the term DNP Project is still commonly used, it’s worth noting that schools and professional organizations are in the process of uniformly adopting the term “DNP Project.”

Here’s what you’ll want to know:

What is a DNP Project?

A DNP project is the umbrella term used to describe a scholarly project with the express purpose of translating evidence into practice. You may also hear it referred to as a final or research DNP project. Your DNP project will reflect your specialization/area of interest, allowing you to delve deep and create a project focused on clinical practice . You will use your DNP project to demonstrate mastery of your advanced nursing specialty.

Fortunately, given the wide breadth of clinical nursing practice, your choices for a DNP project are nearly limitless.

For example, your DNP project may be a practice portfolio that explores the impact or outcomes of nursing practice, or it may be a practice change initiative represented by a program evaluation. It may be a quality improvement project, a consulting project, or the evaluation of a new practice model. It may be a practice topic dissemination, a systemic review, or a manuscript submitted for publication—and that’s just to start.

Although DNP projects may take on various forms, depending on your college/university’s requirements and your area of advanced nursing practice, all DNP projects have three things in common: They all include planning, implementation, and evaluation components.

These components reflect the American Association of Colleges of Nursing’s (AACN) DNP Essentials, which states that a DNP project should be able to successfully integrate some or all of the following into practice:

• Focus on a change that impacts healthcare outcomes through either direct or indirect care
• Have a systems (micro-, meso-, or macro-level) or population/aggregate focus
• Implement the appropriate area of practice
• Include a plan for sustainability (e.g., financial, systems, or political realities)
• Include an evaluation of processes and/or outcomes

All projects should be designed so that processes/outcomes can be evaluated to guide practice and policy, and all should provide a foundation for future practice scholarship.

What is the Purpose of the DNP Project?

The goal of the DNP project is to inform the methods you will use to deliver care and educate others in your chosen population/community. You will use the DNP project to demonstrate your ability to lead and practice at the highest level of clinical nursing practice.

You will be asked to integrate a number of skills into your final project:

• Expertise in reflective practice
• Expertise in your area of interest
• Independent practice inquiry (identifying existing problems/needs in nursing practice and/or healthcare systems)
• The ability to evaluate, translate, and use research and evidence to improve health and quality of care outcomes
• Organizational and systems leadership skills (developing, implementing, and evaluating interventions to improve outcomes for diverse populations and/or communities)
• Knowledge of advanced healthcare policy, ethics, and law to develop a population-based program based on the best available and current evidence

Back to Top

This is your time to shine, so don’t let the task of choosing a DNP project stress you out.

Using your area of clinical expertise as a springboard, develop your project using an evidence-based process:

• Formulate a well-developed question: Describe an innovation or clinical inquiry; identify a problem/issue
• Review the literature to identify evidence-based resources that answer your question: Apply the best evidence from literature
• Assess the validity of your resources using evidence: Collect data using standard and acceptable methods/tools
• Apply that evidence: Define outcomes to be measured upon implementation
• Implement outcomes and/or analyze results: Re-evaluate the application and identify areas for improvement

An example of how one DNP student followed this 5-step evidence-based process to develop a change project with the goal of increasing vaccination among healthcare personnel working in a college:

Step 1. A change project was initiated to increase influenza vaccination among healthcare personnel at a college

Step 2. Barriers to vaccination as well as factors that would help facilitate vaccination were identified using a pre-intervention questionnaire survey

Step 3. Interventions were planned based on the findings of the pre-intervention questionnaire survey

Step 4. Interventions were implemented

Step 5. The effectiveness of the interventions was assessed through a post-intervention survey

An example of how one DNP student followed this 5-step evidence-based process to develop a quality improvement project with the goal of reducing delays in treatment for patients with hand trauma:

Step 1. A quality improvement project was initiated to avoid delays in care for patients with hand trauma

Step 2. Over 2,000 consultations and notes from emergency room and urgent care departments were reviewed to assess adherence to guidelines for treating hand trauma

Step 3. Factors associated with a lack of adherence to treatment guidelines were identified

Step 5. Outcomes were assessed

Questions to Ask

One of the best ways to ensure your DNP project accomplishes your objectives is to ask yourself questions to make sure the project meets the required standards:

• Does my project focus on individuals, communities, populations, and/or systems?
• What problems/issues will my project address?
• Is my DNP project grounded in clinical practice? Will it solve problems or directly inform my practice?

Brainstorm: Ideas for Your DNP Capstone Project

Drafting essays and projects for most courses throughout your nursing education is pretty straightforward. The professor assigns a topic, you do a little research, then procrastinate by watching way too much TV until finally one evening you force yourself to sit at the computer churning out 5 or 10 pages of content. But, for DNP students this is different.

DNP students have the freedom to select the topic of their program-long capstone project. While the ability to choose the subject of your DNP capstone project is exciting, it leaves many students scrambling to pin down a research question. How do you go about choosing a topic for your DNP capstone project? Let’s brainstorm.

The options for the subject of your DNP capstone project are endless. The first thing you should do in choosing your topic is narrow down your options by evaluating your experience and areas of personal interest. What types of populations do you like to work with? If you have a passion for pediatrics , then formulating a research question about falls in nursing homes will make carrying out your capstone project feel like a drag. In what settings have you worked? If you love being in the ICU, choose an intensive care related topic. If the emergency department is your niche , formulating a research question about ED care will interest you more than investigating an unrelated topic. Make a list of your populations, practice areas, and medical issues of interest. Then, you can incorporate these into your DNP capstone topic.

Second, consider the different components of the healthcare system and how they tie in to your populations and practice settings of interest. One of the great things about working in healthcare is its multifaceted nature. Healthcare is political, economic, scientific, and personal. Work your way through these different aspects of the medical field and they just may spark some capstone project topic ideas.

• Political- The healthcare landscape is in the midst of some significant political changes . Consider how these changes will affect patient populations, or even healthcare workers themselves. Nurse practitioners and other healthcare providers are governed by sets of practice laws . Think about how scope of practice laws affect care for your population of interest.
• Economic-Medicine is a business. While many of us don’t like to think of it as such, the economics of healthcare affect our practices. What impact does this have on patients and providers? The economics of the medical field can be investigated on a macro level, or on a personal level. How do patient’s financial situations affect their health or perception of medicine?
• Scientific- New medical research is constantly released giving us insight into how the body works and  how our environment affects health . Reviewing recent studies about your population of interest just might spark an idea for your capstone project.
• Personal- Physical health is intrinsically related to emotional health. How do certain medical problems make patients feel? How do patients react to a diagnosis? The relationship between patients and healthcare workers also strikes and emotional cord and can significantly affect health and outcomes.

Following your brainstorm, you should have a few prospective topics lined up. Next, look at the feasibility of researching your topics of interest. If scope of practice laws strike your fancy and one of your prospective topics includes contacting politicians this could be a difficult task to achieve. Consider refining your topic. If you are interested in performing an intervention to decrease obesity rates among elementary school aged Hispanic children but your city has a non-existent Latino community, this poses a problem for your research topic. You may need to expand your intended population. Sometimes, the most worthwhile and interesting topics do involve overcoming a few hurdles but don’t make your project impossible. You will regret it.

Finally, consider the value of your contribution. Your DNP capstone project is an opportunity to make a significant contribution to nursing and our body of research. Choose a compelling topic that will keep your interest throughout your program. Topics directed towards the direction you see your career taking will be the most influential for your personal development.

Still lost? If you are still having difficulty selecting a subject for your capstone project once you have had a serious brainstorm session, solicit the help of others. Meet with your DNP program advisor bringing your brainstorm notes with you. Your advisor may be able to help you formulate your ideas into a cohesive research question. Looking at DNP projects from past students may also be helpful in helping you create a research question. Many NP program websites list topics from past students which will help you come up with a capstone topic of your own.

Senior Grace McMillan grew up in western New York state in an all-woman intergenerational home. In the 1980s, her grandmother and mother defected from the USSR and came to the United States as refugees. They were the only Ukrainian family in their semi-rural town. 

“My mom would tell me stories about how tough things were when she was growing up,” McMillan says. “I learned from her that my life is in my own hands, and I can do anything if I just put my mind to it.” 

As she began thinking about her future, she developed an interest in space through movies. Soon, she was intently reviewing the academic prerequisites to becoming an astronaut on the NASA website. “I knew I needed a bachelor of science. I told myself I was going to MIT,” she says. 

McMillan was accepted Early Decision with a full-ride scholarship through QuestBridge, a platform that matches high-achieving, low-income high school students with top colleges and universities. 

She was ecstatic to enroll at MIT, but adjusting to urban life in Boston as a first-year was still a big change. “It was vertigo. The buildings were so tall, and the streets were so busy.” Simultaneously, her autoimmune disease flared, and she was hospitalized several times that spring. “[MIT Health] staff are wonderful and always really listened, and sent me to the right specialists,” she says. 

Though she eventually found a treatment, McMillan stayed committed to prioritizing her health while also excelling academically. Now, she helps make on-campus health care more accessible in her role as a student representative on the MIT Health Consumers’ Advisory Council . 

Combining humanities and engineering

Ultimately, McMillan’s interests shifted away from space exploration. But that doesn’t mean she stopped aiming for the stars. 

She chose Course 21E (Humanities and Engineering), an ambitious joint degree program offered through the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences .

“I had learned to love reading so much that I knew even before coming to MIT that I would study the humanities,” McMillan says. “Writing, however, doesn’t come naturally to me.” She challenged herself to take writing-intensive literature courses to master the written word and gain confidence in her communication skills. 

Her humanities coursework has included Russian language — McMillan wanted to connect with the language she heard spoken at home but never formally studied. She took five courses with Maria Khotimsky , a senior lecturer who developed the MIT Russian curriculum. “She has gone above and beyond to help me in every way: academic support, career support, just listening to me, and even making her classes breakfast. Her courses pushed me to be a better Russian language speaker.” 

It was Khotimsky who encouraged her to attend a Russian language immersion program in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, where she lived with a local family for eight weeks over summer 2022. While studying there, McMillan was reminded of the simplicity of her childhood in upstate New York. “Living in a city like Boston, where you need a phone or the internet to do anything, it's easy to forget that sometimes a simple solution is better than a highly technological one.” 

“Engineers need communication skills”

She brought this global perspective back to MIT and applied it to a team-based capstone engineering project involving designing a software-free laser-powered cutting machine for artists. 

She explains, “The principle is that you draw on your material and our product will cut it out for you. It will use a built-in camera and program to guide a laser without requiring access to a computer.” 

McMillan says her humanities courses helped her to work better on a team. “Engineers need communication skills. You can be the smartest person in the room, but no one will care if you can’t convey your ideas effectively.” 

As a junior, McMillan pledged to the Sigma Kappa sorority after reflecting on how too much of her Covid-era life had been, by necessity, spent behind a computer and not with other humans. She considers moving into the group’s house one of her best college decisions. “I found a community of like-minded women who are invested in helping each other succeed, both academically and in our personal lives,” she says. 

When McMillan isn’t in class or hanging out with her sisters, she’s in the library studying for the Law School Admission Test. She is determined to use her legal education to focus on education policy reform. “As a kid, I had mentors and teachers who advocated for me in ways I could never have imagined. I want to be able to pay it forward and help every student get that kind of access, too,” she says.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
