The recent grads — all students in electrical biomedical engineering at the Hamilton university — earned the International James Dyson Award for their final year project, called The sKan. A group of four McMaster University students has won a $50,000 prize to develop their idea for a handheld device that detects skin cancer. The heat map it creates shows which cells recover more quickly from thermal shock, indicating the presence of skin cancer. Takla and Fadiya say they will use the prize money to refine their device and work toward clinical trials. In 2015, a team of University of Waterloo students developed Voltera V-One, a circuit board printer that can create boards in minutes.
