A team of fourth-year Management Engineering students has won one of the prestigious Baylis Medical Capstone Design awards, valued at $5000. The competition is open to capstone teams from all Engineering departments undertaking a project with a biomedical focus.
The students - Maisie Brown, Dale Drasnin, Patricia Hall, Michelle Indyarta, and Connor O'Brian - are working to improve nurse scheduling in the operating rooms of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the largest cancer care centre in the world. The team is being supervised by Prof. Hossein Abouee Mehrizi.
This is not the first time that a Management Engineering team has won the Baylis award. Last year, the award was won by a team - also supervised by Prof. Abouee Mehrizi - that developed a new MRI scheduling policy for hospitals.
Well done team!
