Xeridiem Recruits Capstone Team Leader

By all accounts, Team 15024’s project was a winner.  

Sponsored by Tucson-based Xeridiem, the students’ Nasogastric Tube Placement Verification System earned two first-prize awards at UA Engineering’s 2016 Design Day. Members of the team also took their show on the road, presenting the project at the June 2016 Capstone Design Conference in Columbus, Ohio.  

The team’s can-do attitude continues to pay off. Xeridiem has graciously named all team members on patent applications for the device. And, when team mentor Paul Melnychuck needed to replace a departing employee, he called Garland, who is working part-time for Xeridiem as a customer success engineer and will go full time in January when she graduates.
