Results of the 21st Annual BME Bio-Tech Competition

The 21st Annual BME Bio-Tech Contest 2019 took  place February 9, 2019. This year's theme of the contest was to develop and present a concept using Electrical, Electronic, Biomedical, and/or Electro-Optics to assist a persons' disability - or to improve a persons' ability to manage tasks that usually require assistance. The contest focus is on students' individual ideas and in particular, the contest provides a forum for these future engineers to share those ideas that focus on technology assisted care.

Sponsored  by  Inter-academic cooperation:

The event took place at LMU courtesy of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Special thanks  for logistic and organizational support  to Chair and Professor Dr. Ray Toal, and Professors Dr. Xu Jie, Dr. Vejarano Gustavo; and student support coordinated by Patrick Utz.
