The 17th Annual BME Bio-Tech Contests 2015 took  place February 7, 2015. This year's theme of the contest is to develop and present a concept using Electrical, Electronic, Biomedical, and/or Electro-Optics to improve persons well-being or health, or 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:

in part by IEEE CLAS Section  and Inter-academic cooperation.
      

The event took place at CGU courtesy of Dr. Ellis Cumberbatch.
