The primary objective of the project is to create a system that reliably delivers a surgical suture needle into the body cavity in the least invasive manner possible. Our team has approached this design challenge with an IE (Introduction and Extraction) Device that releases a deformable needle with suture into the body cavity and proposes solution with parts and design familiar to the surgeons.

{Abstract}
Hydrogen fuel cells are a promising solution for generating electricity without harmful GHG emissions. Supported by Woodward, Inc., this project fosters research in this sector at CU through the creation of an R&D rig to operate a 16 kW fuel cell stack. It addresses challenges in controlling the necessary electrical load, air, hydrogen, and heat rejection through the balance-of-plant components.
