About Engineering Inno Show

The Engineering Inno Show is a showcase carnival that celebrates innovative Engineering student projects at the end of every semester. Participating students will have the opportunity to expound on their inventive design, research and projects; harness timely and constructive feedback given by peers, teachers, industry experts and the public through knowledge exchange; and spin talent and ideas into innovative (re)inventions. There are many reasons why Engineering Inno Show is a unique concoction of its missions and vision. We offer a vibrant, inter/multi-disciplinary and hands-on learning platform for students to create their own impact, in and out of the classroom. The showcases also paint junior fellows a concrete picture of what constitutes an exemplary work and open pathways for them to look at Engineering through the lens of their senior cohorts, whether they are from Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Environmental Engineering. We believe that Engineering united with hands-on experience is essential. It is our vision to inspire a generation of intrepid explorers and committed collaborators. At Engineering Inno Show, we are transmitting knowledge and values through narrative. Whether it is communicated in layman’s terms or field-specific terminologies, we hope that the seeds of creative minds will germinate and thrive.

Winners of Inno Show Award

We are excited to announce that the 4th Engineering Inno Show was successfully held on May 4, 2021. A total of 36 student projects from 5 departments and InnoHub members were showcased in the event. The teams have done an excellent job in preparing the event and presenting their work to classmates, teachers, and visitors. Please join us in congratulating the following five projects for receiving the Inno Show Awards:

ProperT

“The rights of many tenants in Hong Kong are left unenforced. Not only are the relevant regulations and clauses inaccessible and convoluted, it is also hard for the average tenant to know whom to approach when there is a “health and safety” issue in their buildings.

We develop a technology solution that would inform tenants about their rights using computer vision technology. Tenants can simply use their mobile phones to scan items in the common areas of their buildings to learn about the regulations and clauses relevant to those items. This would enable them to anonymously report these breaches for enforcement.”

A solar power system for producing useful fuels and chemicals from biomass waste

To design an innovative solar power system with a solar tracking system and solar power supply system, which comprises the concepts of applying solar energy and waste-to-energy, to convert biomass waste materials to char products, namely charcoal, biochar and activated carbon through pyrolysis. The solar power system is a zero-carbon emission system during operation and conversion. Furthermore, it is an economically viable system with a short payback period of less than 7 years with a minimal land requirement. It is hoped that the project will contribute to both environment and lead to the optimization of power storage to discover cost-effective designs in the future.

Introducing SURGIVIEW: A Fast and Accurate Augmented Reality(AR) Application Supporting End-to-End Clinical Operations

SURGIVIEW is a holographic augmented reality (AR) application that can assist end-to-end surgical support for minimally invasive surgeries (MIS). This app can overlay holographic anatomic structure on physical tissue, so surgeons can see “through” patient’s body during operation. Incorporating a novel triplet-calibration algorithm, the app can achieve accurate overlay (re-projection error < 5mm) faster than most of the current strategies for less than 8 seconds. Aiming for use among medical community including surgeons, patients and medical residents, the app has multiple functions to support from pre-operative planning, intra-operative navigation to post-operative demonstration. With SURGIVIEW, we hope to develop a more intuitive and interactive future of clinical and surgery practices.

Design and Modification of a Rototiller for the Grass/Sedge Control

WWF-HK, the management organization of the Mai Po Nature Reserve, has to offer waterbirds a mudflat without vegetation. Currently, workers are deployed into the mudflat to remove the vegetation. However this method is inefficient and dangerous. WWF-HK wishes to develop a product to reduce the necessity of sending out workers to the intertidal mudflat. Field visits were conducted to understand the design constraints. Removal methods adopted by other wetland management in the world were studied. As a result, radio-controlled hovercraft mounted with a grass cutter was chosen as the solution to the problem. The product was tested in different settings, including lawn, water and Mai Po. Results proved the product met the target specification. The product would serve as a reference for WWF-HK in future projects in vegetation removal.

Impact of Different Factors on Hyporheic Exchange in a Meandering Pool-riffle Stream

The hyporheic zone (HZ) is the region of saturated sediment surrounding a stream which connects surface water and groundwater flow. The overlying water with dissolved matters infiltrates into the HZ, stays there for some time and interacts with groundwater, and exfiltrates out of the HZ, resulting in hyporheic exchanges (HE).

Most of the rivers are designed with narrow bottom section and large upper section of concrete streambed which results in bad river eco-system. In recent decades, more and more stream restoration projects involve the recovery of HE, however, effective guidance in restoring HE is still missing. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effectiveness of different key factors (e.g., stream discharge, slope, sinuosity and groundwater flow) in restoring HZ in a meandering channel with floodplain using flume experiments and numerical simulations.

COVID-19: Latent Clinical Phenotypes on Admission in Hong Kong across 2020

In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, efforts in 2019 and 2020 have been devising immediate practices. However, limited knowledge on COVID-19 can lead to ineffective interventions and undesired consequences. To better understand the underlying mechanism of COVID-19, a population-based retrospective study was conducted.
It covered 7606 COVID-19 positive patients in Hong Kong across 2020. This large sample size brings great statistical power and generalizability to the results. It covers a broad disease severity spectrum and is representative of Hong Kong population.
The k-prototype clustering used here demonstrates an unprecedented strength to capture 86.6% deceased cases in one of the four clusters and identify most of the clinical characteristics of a poor prognosis without knowing them in the clustering process.
Upon further verification and investigation into these clusters, new understandings based on different clinical representations of COVID-19 will subsequently benefit disease prevention and the development of customized treatment protocols.
