<p>Actually, there’s no one at UAB doing prosthetics, as far as the professors we talked to knew. Son was actually intrigued by the nanoengineering going on at Louisiana Tech, but didn’t like the atmosphere of the school. </p>
<p>This is actually why I’m trying to find out information about internships/coops offered through Bama. Maybe a larger school with a bigger alumni base might offer more opportunities. </p>
<p>I believe there is a Medtronic division in Memphis, so I was hoping maybe there would be some Tennessee connections, and of course, Saint Jude. </p>
<p>What about the paralympics place by Samford? Does anyone from Bama do any work over there?</p>
<p>Really thinking about it, Tuscaloosa is even closer to Birmingham than Milwaukee is to Chicago, and there are lots of internship/coop opportunities available in the Chicago area from both Marquette and Northwestern. </p>
<p>Thanks, feenotype, for leading me in this direction. I’m going to have son look into the research being done more closely at both schools. Especially with UAB, because there seems to be a lot of research opportunities available with the Science and Technology Honors program. Don’t know if undergrad research is as available in the undergrad in such a big school as Bama.</p>
