From Breadboard to Breakthrough
Date: Tuesday, October 28th @7pm
Location: uOttawa, STEM building, room 464
Ever wondered what you can actually do with your engineering degree?
What about changing the world?
🚀 Step into the future of engineering. Experience how raw circuitry and code become technology that saves lives.
👨💻 Oscar J. Acosta — engineer, inventor, and CEO of Body M3canix, Inc. — will share how he built Atalanta, a breakthrough biometric chest strap born from the fusion of computer engineering, electrical circuits, embedded systems, signal processing, software, and AI.
🔬 The Atalanta chest strap is more than a gadget — it’s raw engineering turned into life-saving hardware. With custom sensors, wireless power design, and lab-level accuracy, it measures heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiration, and more — transforming circuit boards, firmware, and algorithms into a device that can detect heart risks before they happen.
💡 This talk is about the craft of engineering: how to go from circuits on a bench to a device in the real world, and what’s possible when you put your skills to work on something that matters.
