Students in the Biomedical Engineering Technology program are pushing the limits of applied knowledge as they look to make a significant impact in their roles as "roadies" of the healthcare system.
Biomedical Engineering Technology professors James Linton and Jim Durocher use Virtual Reality equipment in their classrooms to help students understand the medical devices they will have to work on in real life.
Graduating Biomedical Engineering Technology students have created a device which detects objects in the immediate walking path of a visually impaired person.
The customizable and wearable harness consists of a clip-on ultrasonic sensor which sounds an alert when the person wearing it is approaching a mass. It was designed to take the place of a white cane or walking stick.
