Race Horse Airway
Instructor
Detailed description
The goal of this team is to use engineering to solve problems in veterinarian science. One project will experimentally replicate the aerodynamics of the breathing path for racing equine. A wind tunnel will be built that matches design criteria. The airflow will be measured using instrumentation normally use aerodynamics. Another project will use 3-D printing to replicate the tendon in the equine neck. Puncture forces will be measured using mechanical engineering instruments to improve the science of arthritis relief in equine.
