Engineering and Graphic Design Interdisciplinary Collaborative Product Development: A Wheelchair-Mounted Rotating-Head-Support for a Disabled Child

Abstract

Luke is currently in his senior year at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, graduating in December 2022 with a bachelor's degree in Industrial & Systems Engineering. Throughout his time at Rutgers University, he participated in three consecutive co-op rotations with Johnson and Johnson, including roles in Product Temperature Control, Pharmaceutical Distribution Operations, and Process Automation and Advanced Analytics. This summer he will be transitioning to his fourth consecutive co-op assignment, where he will support J&J's CAR-T Manufacturing and Distribution Operations as an Industrial Engineer co-op.Luke graduated from RVCC's Honors College in the summer of 2020 with an associate degree in Mechanical Engineering. During his time at RVCC he participated in the Authentic Engineering Experience, where he partnered with a local family and their disabled son to design and manufacture a rotating headsupport that could be attached to a wheelchair.As Luke prepares to graduate from Rutgers University in December 2022, he sets his sites on full-time opportunities focused on process improvement, optimization, and automation.
