ECE 480 Capstone Design

The original idea for a project to address these issues was conceived by a team of six electrical engineering undergraduate students at the Huazhong University of Science & Technology in Wuhan, China. Two teams responded to their call for partners – a group of two biomedical engineering graduate students at the University of Bologna in Italy, and our team of five ECE 480 students. Between our three teams, we have a wide range of technical expertise.
