Controlling Dissolved Oxygen Levels:
The Technology Clinic is an interdisciplinary
course at Lafayette College in Easton, PA, which aims
to provide students the practical experience that many
other classes lack.
Since its inception in 1986, Tech Clinic has
provided opportunities for small groups of highly
motivated students with different backgrounds –
usually consisting of five or six members – to work
closely with professors and other professional mentors
to solve real-world problems.
