News ArchivesThe project Eczema Monitoring Device, by student Geoffrey Lang (supervisor: Mohammad Aldeen) has won the Best Undergraduate Project Award by The College of Biomedical Engineers (EA). The talk described the development of a monitor for involuntary scratching during night sleep of children suffering from Eczema. Recording, analysing and presenting of the information is useful for both treatment evaluation and research. The device will undergo clinical trails at RCH this summer. Applications are now open. Visit http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/summer/ for more details. Undergraduate scholarship. Closing date: Mon Aug 13. Bilfinger Berger Services (Bilfinger Berger Services) first established the Scholarship for Tomorrow's Engineering Leaders in 2006, providing an outstanding student in mechanical or electrical engineering with support throughout their final year.

Tabbara, D. Nesic and A.R. Teel, "Input output stability of wireless networked control systems" The accreditation panel was focusing on the Department's internal systems and the standards reached by students through detailed inspection of the Department's teaching curriculum. The Department passed its accreditation with flying colours. We received re-accreditation of all of our current courses and provisional accreditation for our new programs (Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical Engineering) Biosignals 679 BS, Bachelor of Engineering (Engineering Management) Computer 680 CE, Bachelor of Engineering (Engineering Management) Electrical 680 EE, commencing in 2005. Once again our Department has made an excellent contribution to the success of Discovery Day. Our students displayed their projects with great enthusiasm and there was an increase in interest from potential enrolments, especially in the Faculty marquee asking for advice on the BE(IT) Degrees. Congratulations to Dr Raj Parthiban who successfully submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy entitled, 'Modeling and Analysis of Optical Backbone Networks', this has been passed by the examiners.
