Prototyping At The University Of New Brunswick

Dec. 1, 2005

Higher educational research often demands repeated creation of new and improved prototypes. The Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, N.B., Canada, has a long history in the research and clinical aspects of

"The design and fabrication of prototypes is a key element of much of this research, and it is here that we utilize the Protomat S62," says chief technologist John Hayden. He looked to the S62 because of the increasing demands placed on board production by surface-mount components. He also indicated that some designs were using the minimum isolation width to keep board size to a minimum.

Research that uses RF layout for wireless bio sensors will be one of the projects tackled in the near future.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
