College of Engineering helps fill UI face shield gap

Wednesday, April 1, 2020
When University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics put out the call for additional face shields this week, the College of Engineering jumped to help out. The college’s Roy J. Carver Department of Biomedical Engineering spent the week making more than 1,000 face shields to protect health care workers while they tend to patients who have or are suspected of having the COVID-19 virus.
