M-HEAL students design low-cost surgical lamp

Through classes and extracurricular activities, student projects are central to the educational experience at the College of Engineering. Recently, a group of biomedical engineering students created a low-cost, battery-powered surgical lamp to be used in developing nations where electricity isn't reliable. The team members, part of the student group Michigan Health Engineered for All Lives, or M-HEAL, sent their prototype lamp to Uganda where it will undergo testing.
