School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (海洋) students received a standing ovation from over 200 industry professionals for their presentation at the 2022 Advancing Minorities’ Interest in Engineering (AMIE) Annual Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, on September 26.

这是一次创新和互动的体验，会议汇集了传统黑人学院和大学（HBCU）工程系主任委员会、学生、工程专业人士以及顶级企业和政府机构的领导人。

Biomedical engineering student Glacia Martin, computer science student Ciero Kilpatrick, computer science and medical engineering student Chidera Igwebuike, mechanical engineering student TaiZeree’ Walker and internet technology student Adrienne Lambert were invited to participate after they won first prize in the 2022 AMIE Design Challenge, held virtually on April 1.

亚洲博彩网站机械与生物医学工程客座助理教授Ji Chen博士、亚洲博彩网站机械与生物医学工程助理教授Max Denis博士、Boston Scientific行业顾问George Omae博士担任指导教师。

设计挑战赛是与AMIE合作的一部分，旨在展示新兴技术以及如何使用这些技术解决现实生活中的问题。 每个大学团队的设计、解决问题的能力、沟通能力和商业模式都由行业专家进行评判。

This year’s Design Challenge focused on the following problem statement: “How might we design a solution to improve the quality of life in clean water, urban infrastructure, clean energy, transportation and access to high-speed internet?”

亚洲博彩网站’s team sought to design a solution to improve the wellness of college students by harvesting kinetic energy as a rewarding application of clean energy. They presented their answer at the conference—an innovative piezoelectric sensor-based device called “Gravicube,” demonstrating leadership, innovative user-centric solutions and out-of-the-box thinking.

每位学生获得了600美元的奖金，亚洲博彩网站获得了6000美元。

海洋院长Devdas Shetty表示，他为这个团队感到非常自豪。

“It was an extremely nice experience. I thank the students and the faculty advisors.”
