Rapoff awarded NSF grant

Andy Rapoff, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, was recently awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation to support his proposal, "Integrating Micro-Computed Tomography in Undergraduate Bioengineering Courses." The award will be used to develop laboratory modules that incorporate the theory, use and application of a 3D radiographic imaging system capable of resolving features in bone on the order of hundredths of a millimeter. The funds also will be used to purchase a state-of-the-art micro-CT system and to hire student assistants.
