The co-founder of Berkeley, California-based startup Eko Devices explains the origins of and prospects for the companys smart stethoscope, which can detect heartbeat patterns more accurately and help doctors to interpret them. The Interactive section of the annual South by Southwest (SXSW ) technology fair in Austin, Texas, which is a real meeting point for emerging digital trends, focused this year on the health sector. Using connected objects to make life easier for medical patients is today a key development area for both innovative startups and established digital technology specialists [see our articles on Stemp and Apple Watch]. And there are definite opportunities in the B2B market here, as is being proved by Eko Devices. The Californian startup has created a smart attachment for a stethoscope called the Eko Core which enables physicians to hear patients heartbeats with greater accuracy. L'Atelier reported on the stethoscope already a year ago and Eko Devices co-founder Connor Landgraf, who holds a Master's Degree in Bioengineering from the University of California, Berkeley, told the SXSW audience about how the venture got started and outlined its future prospects. The idea for the Core hit him when he was taking a senior bioengineering class at Berkeley. … Continue reading →

Programs will focus on bioengineering, electrical engineering (power systems), environmental engineering systems (water), materials at the nanoscale and mechanical engineering By Sean Nealon on April 9, 2015 The Bourns College of Engineering RIVERSIDE, Calif. (www.ucr.edu) The University of California, Riversides Bourns College of Engineering recently announced its partnership with Pearson to create a new online degree program in engineering, with specializations in bioengineering, electrical engineering (power systems), environmental engineering systems (water), materials at the nanoscale and mechanical engineering. The masters degree program is scheduled to be launched in the fall of 2015 and hopes to enroll over 600 new engineering students by 2020. Pearsons online learning services will provide marketing, enrollment management, student support and retention services and help desk services. The collaboration allows the Bourns College of Engineering to extend its programs to working adults and other non-traditional students that may not have been able to attend an on-the-ground program. The new programs will help the college get one step closer to achieving its mission of producing engineers with the educational foundation and adaptive skills to rapidly serve evolving technology industries. We are pleased to collaborate with Pearson to offer this online program enabling employed engineers and scientists to … Continue reading →

The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Texas at Arlington recently began welcoming incoming exemplary freshman to earn their Bachelor of Science degrees in Bioengineering. This new Undergraduate program is an exciting prospect for our department, adding to the Master and Doctoral degrees currently offered. Today, both graduate and undergraduate students as well as faculty in the Bioengineering Department enjoy an association with the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas (UTSW), one of the top medical schools in the nation, located only 22 miles (35 minutes) away from the UTA campus. Students can take engineering and life science courses at UTA or UTSW; conducting research in laboratories located on either campus. Graduates of the program receive a diploma bearing the seals of both UTA and UTSW.

In the unofficial mosquito capital of Canada, most people do whatever they can to avoid the clouds of biting, whining pests. Steve Whyard, on the other hand, is creating mosquitoes by the thousands. Inside his Winnipeg lab, the University of Manitoba biologist is soaking larvae of one of the insects most dangerous strains in a special solution to silence two of the bugs genes. The result is an army of sterile males with potential to infiltrate and decimate whole populations of mosquitoes. Thats good news for the battle against summer insects. And, more significantly, could finally give humans the upper hand on illnesses like malaria and dengue fever that kill hundreds of thousands annually. But the experiment also launches Canada into a controversial new field bioengineering mosquitoes that critics fear might also wreak havoc on humans. A British companys proposal to release millions of its genetically modified insects into a Florida Keys community in the near future has stirred up vocal opposition, with 150,000 people signing a petition to oppose the project. They are going to use my kids, my neighbours and my community as a guinea pig, says Mila de Mier, the Key West realtor who launched the petition. … Continue reading →
