Short Takes: Campus Transformation: $1.3 Billion In Improvements | University of Arkansas
Transcription
Joseph Holloway: Engineering better healthcare—that's the focus of the University of Arkansas' new biomedical engineering program. Students from the program's first graduating class have created a device to help diagnose anemia—a blood disorder that affects more than 2 billion people worldwide. Jeff Wolchok: One of the project ideas was developing a low-cost centrifuge. Something that would be hand- or at least human-powered to spin down blood for, uh, diagnosing anemia. Katelin Cherry: We'd assign each other projects to go out and do and then come back with those, and then collaborate and figure what part of the design would work best. Peter Kliendl: One of the best ways to sort of utilize manpower can be found in a bicycle. That's what kind of led to this bike-powered centrifuge idea. Anh Vu: The most interesting part, uh, I would say, is the, uh, design part, to conceptualize the idea and to make it real. Peter Kliendl: The more "G"s you can produce, the faster the blood will centrifuge in order to accurately make diagnoses. One "G" is the force of gravity that you feel on earth. If you were on our device, spinning around, you would feel about 27 times earth's gravity. Katelin Cherry: And then also, centrifuges aren't just used to diagnose anemia. So you can do other things with the centrifuge and look at other diseases. That's exactly what this major is all about, is using engineering to help people on the human level, and that's exactly what I want to do. Joseph Holloway: The biomedical engineering program is growing fast. Its enrollment will double in its second year, with nearly 100 freshmen joining it next fall.

History
Dell has its origins in a community that developed around a loading dock and post office operated by J.B. Richardson in the late 1890s. When the Jonesboro, Lake City and Eastern Railroad completed a rail line through the area, a town was laid out near the tracks. The town was initially known as "Rozell" after an early landowner, but due to naming conflicts with a nearby community known as "Rochelle", the name was changed to "Dell". The town incorporated in 1905.[4]
