Results of the 22nd Annual BME Bio-Tech Competition

The 22nd Annual BME Bio-Tech Contests 2019 took  place February 8, 2019 at UCI. 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 UCI courtesy of Dr. William C. Tang  and the Biomedical Engineering Department of UC Irvine. Special thanks to Joanne Ly for logistic support.
