Student Testimonials

UNeTech has enabled, encouraged, and assisted me in deepening and developing my education and potential within the realm of prototyping as well as project management and business. I cherish the connections and experiences I’ve gained within the program! I feel an immense sense of pride working closely with others and now having the ability to officially label myself an inventor. The work experience has supplemented my education in a way that can only be achieved outside the classroom.

James Cryer

MCC Student

“UNeTech in both product and people has helped me learned the impact of group innovation and teamwork. By combining the minds of so many great doctors, admins, leaders, and students, I have been able to learn about how community helps foster growth. I have learned to be a better communicator, leader, and developer by focusing on what I can do to make something great for the benefit of all.”

A group of four individuals is gathered around a blue medical examination table in a clinical setting at UNMC. One person is wearing a full-body motion capture suit, while another in an orange shirt with a red lanyard assists with the setup. A third person with a beard and glasses is adjusting a motion capture device, while the fourth individual, dressed in a plaid shirt and jeans, examines another piece of equipment. In the foreground, a medical mannequin is lying inside a black equipment case, likely to be used for an intubation procedure demonstration. The background features the "UNMC" logo on the wall, framed sports jerseys, and a desk with office supplies, indicating an academic and research-focused environment.
A young man with a beard and light skin stands confidently in a well-lit biomechanics lab, wearing a gray t-shirt, black motion capture leggings, and black gloves with reflective markers. His hands are raised, forming the "rock on" gesture with both hands, and he has a friendly, enthusiastic smile. Small reflective markers are attached to his clothing and head, which are used for motion capture analysis. The lab has a clean, modern look, with a grid-patterned ceiling, multiple mounted cameras, and force plates on the floor. Wooden doors and a blue exercise ball are visible in the background.
An individual wearing a blue shirt, brown pants, and a red lanyard is immersed in a virtual reality experience at a conference. They are using a high-tech VR headset with a large visor and gloves connected to an intricate system of cables and sensors. A group of attendees watches with curiosity, including a man in a black shirt with a Batman belt buckle, who appears to be explaining the technology. The setting is a modern, well-lit conference space with screens and booths in the background.
