Rehabilitation system wins IEEE student paper competition

Amrita Sandhu, Nick Stupich, Musabbir Khan and Mark Klibanov won the the IEEE Eastern Ontario Oral Student Paper Competition for their project Muscle Mate. Held at Algonquin College in March, the competiton challenged students from Carleton University, University of Ottawa, Algonquin College, Royal Military College and Queen’s University.
