John Marshall High School
Aerospace Engineers
study flight
Biomedical Engineering (BME)
• the application of engineering principles
and techniques to the medical field. It
combines the design and problem solving
skills of engineering with the medical and
biological sciences to help improve patient
health care and the quality of life of
healthy individuals.
Biomedical Engineers
Work with electromagnets to study how
non-ionizing radiation affects the body.
Dr. McDougall’s necklace is
attracted to the electromagnet.

The “MixAlco” technology,
developed by Professor
Mark T. Holtzapple,
transforms biomass –
trees, grass, manure,
sewage sludge, garbage,
agricultural residues and
non-food energy crops –
into mixed alcohols that
can be blended into
Gasoline.
