New Project Announced

Low-level light therapy consists of lasers or light emitting diodes at near-infrared wavelengths. At the status quo, LLLT devices are marketed as skin wound therapy, hair growth, and pain relief devices. It emits near-infrared light around 780nm near the surface of a skin where mitochondrial chromophores absorb photons. This causes a chain reaction of electron transport and ATP nitric oxide release, leading to signaling pathways. Ultimately signaling pathways activate stem cells leading to tissue repair and prevention of cell suicide.

New Project Announced

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body’s response to an infection. It can rapidly cause tissue damage, organ failure and death. This project involves designing hardware or software tools that can help users conduct early diagnosis for their probability of Sepsis infection based on their inputs and also can offer them some advice, or to help patients keep tracking of their Sepsis treatment and symptoms by collecting data in different phase of the treatment to help improving their health condition.

Course Introduction

Leading Innovation Design Team (LINDT) A project design course that Complements and/or Builds on Core Engineering Knowledge with emphasis on Multi-disciplinary projects.
All Projects will be sponsored, have clearly defined objectives, and must yield a Tangible Result at Completion. Project duration can vary between a minimum of 2 semesters and a maximum of 5 years. This course will afford the students the opportunity to use their creativity to innovate and to master critical skills such as: customer/user discovery and product specifications/requirements; concept development; trade study; systems engineering and design optimization; root cause trouble shooting; and effective team work. The students will also experience first hand the joys and challenges of the professional world. The course will be actively managed and supervised to represent the most effective industry practices with the instruction team, including guest speakers, providing customized lectures, technical support, and guidance. In addition, the students will have frequent interactions with the project sponsor and their technical staff. Now here’s you’re opportunity to think and act big while still in college!
