Meet Mujtaba Ahmad!
As an MEng student enrolled in the Design Engineering Graduate Diploma, with Professor Oscar Nespoli, he was able to avail the rare and wonderful opportunity to complete a co-op term during his master’s degree. Mujtaba joined Intellijoint Surgical Inc. – a medical devices company for hip and knee replacement surgeries – for a 4-month term that ended up becoming a year-long journey where he learned more than he could have imagined. With the primary role of designing new hardware products, Mujtaba was able to dive into the complex world of medical devices and biomechanical engineering. Having worked on 5 different projects to date, he has learned the nuances of creating new products from the initial concept sketches to prototyping, testing, production planning and lots of documentation! The best part was knowing that Mujtaba had taken part in an effort to help surgeons improve patients’ lives.
