ME Department Engineering Your Career: WN 2025

Interested in learning how ME students have navigated their time at U-M and pursued different careers after graduating? 

Join us for a series of career discussions with ME alumni and professionals where you can learn more about their personal journeys as mechanical engineers. This is also a great opportunity to meet and connect with other ME undergrads, grad students, and postdocs.

Claire Davies

Dr. Claire Davies, Associate Professor in Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Queen's University

Since 1992, Claire Davies has been collaborating with persons with disabilities; as a therapeutic recreationist, a Special Olympics coach, a rehabilitation engineer, and a researcher.  All her projects are interdisciplinary, participatory, and include clinician input resulting in the development of therapies and devices that are usable and effective, ensuring equity and inclusion in design.


Her BDAT (Building and Designing Assistive Technologies) Lab conducts research into assistive technologies to increase independence of persons with disabilities and seeks to ensure that community members who need devices can obtain them. Dr. Davies’s academic outputs demonstrate significant interdisciplinary research. While her home department is Mechanical and Materials Engineering, she holds cross-appointments in Cultural Studies, Rehabilitation Sciences, and the Centre for Neuroscience at Queen’s University. She is the Queen’s University representative on the Canadian Accessibility Network.
