Our goal is to build a safe and convenient medical waste bin for research labs and hospitals. The waste bin will be designed to open automatically only when people intend to drop off the waste, and otherwise closed and maintained tightly. The bag of trash will be automatically sealed and dropped when specific weight limit is achieved, and a new bag will be set in position at the same time. There will also be a liquid leak detection sensor on the bottom of the waste bin in case the garbage bag breaks, and a UV sterilizer to deal with the possibly dangerous leak.

Hyun Yi, Lauren White, and Andri Teneqexhi earned the Instructor's Award in the Fall of 2013 for their work on the Environmental Sensing for Firefighters.

"Engineering is all about solving real life problems and using the solutions to improve the lives of others. ECE 445 allows you to actually delve deeper into what this really means by providing students the chance to undergo the engineering design process. This requires taking all of the theoretical knowledge, lab experiences, and ultimately, everything that you have ever learned in life, and applying it to your project. Though, there is structure to the course and deadlines in place to measure your team's progress, the actual design, implementation, and success of your project is all determined by you. Unlike any other course that I have taken, I've gained an appreciation for the utilization and benefits of external resources, unforeseen scheduling delays, delegating tasks, and most importantly, teamwork. I consider ECE 445 to be a crash course into real life engineering and a guide to become a successful engineer." -- Lauren White
