Joy Ekuta, senior Course 9, tests nurse call system equipment with Janet Gardner in the Boston Home in Dorchester, Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Ekuta is helping to design a new nurse call system for Gardner, who has multiple sclerosis. Gardner’s old system used a single button attached loosely to a wall, which she often dropped. The new system would involve more buttons, voice activation, and lights to let the patient know the button has been pressed and a call has been made. Here, Ekuta is testing a variety of button styles with Gardner to find one that she can easily press.
Junior Sylvia Zakarian (center)works alongside other students on a lab for course 6.002 Circuits and Electronics in a student lab in Building 38 at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. The project was the first group lab and focused on measuring output in metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) to see if observed results match theoretical predictions.
Ozan Candogan presents some of his research to Asuman Ozdaglar’s (in red) research group in the Connection Science and Engineering Center at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

HST grad student Gabrielle Merchant works alongside other students on a lab for course 6.002 Circuits and Electronics in a student lab in Building 38 at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. The project was the first group lab and focused on measuring output in metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) to see if observed results match theoretical predictions.
