Dr. Chowdhury Presented His Research at the general body meeting of UF's Engineering Leadership Circle (ELC)
​Dr. Chowdhury presented his innovative "human-centered design" approach at the ELC's general body meeting, engaging undergraduate students from diverse engineering disciplines, including industrial, mechanical, materials science, computer science, and biomedical engineering. His insights highlighted the importance of incorporating human-centric strategies not just in design, but also in leadership practices. Attendees left with a deeper understanding of how these approaches can enhance collaboration and innovation in their respective fields. This meeting fostered a valuable exchange of ideas and encouraged students to consider the impact of their work on people.

Dr. Chowdhury Represents TTU's IMSE for the Explore Engineering Summer Camp, 2021
The camp provided the opportunity for high school students to live life as Texas Tech Engineering students, including staying in the dorms for a week! As seen in the linked photos, students were able to have firsthand experience with Dr. Chowdhury's biomechanics and engineering research projects on firefighting helmets, shoulder and back exoskeleton, and virtual reality.

Dr. Chowdhury Represents IMSE for the Explore Engineering Summer Camp, 2022
Dr. Chowdhry had the opportunity to present at the 2022 Explore Engineering Summer Camp organized by the Edward E. Whitacre, Jr. College of Engineering. A bit of detail about this camp: This summer camp allows high school students to spend a week as Texas Tech Engineering students learning engineering concepts and gaining experience with classroom lectures, hands-on group projects, and campus life. Dr. Chowdhury hopes he made an impact on their learning this year. He got some feedback that students enjoyed our exoskeleton and helmet research a lot. We also taught them the basics of biomechanics, ergonomics, and traumatic brain injury.
