Students recognized as part of the Individual Project in Biomedical Engineering course (GBM 3100)
On April 16, prizes were awarded for the best projects carried out as part of the Projet individuel en génie biomédical (individual project in biomedical engineering) course, GBM 3100, in winter 2014. The students showed great rigour in their work and presented high-quality projects.
Under the guidance of a professor or engineer appointed by the department, students are given an engineering design assignment. They are asked to produce a professional-quality report that generally includes a review of past work, the definition and situation of the problem, the chosen solution method, the results obtained and a discussion. The project concludes with a poster presentation in the Lorne Trottier Atrium.
Three prizes were awarded by the jury:
1st prize: Imane El Maâchi – Project: Algorithme pour la détection de fièvre par une caméra thermographique
(Algorithm for detecting fever using a thermographic camera)
2nd prize: Olivier Barron – Project: Amélioration d'outil d'appoint pour la neurochirurgie : adaptateur pour le
Ramanscope (Improvement of a supporting tool for neurosurgery: adapter for the Ramanscope)
3rd prize: Érika Beauvais – Project: Conception et réalisation d'une structure préliminaire ayant des propriétés
mécaniques similaires à celles du ligament antérieur croisé (Design and building of a preliminary structure with
mechanical properties similar to those of the anterior cruciate ligament)
