A group of University of Macau (UM) students from the Department of Electromechanical Engineering, Faculty of Science and Technology, won the first prize at a mechanical design and manufacture competition for undergraduates from central and south China, Hong Kong and Macao, for their project, “Movable Ergonomic Seat for Vehicle”. Two other students, also from the Department of Electromechanical Engineering, won a third prize at the “Challenge Cup” National Inter-varsity Science and Technology Competition, for their project, “Ergonomic Bus System for Visually Impaired People”. Dr. Wong Seng Fat is the supervisor of the first project and the chief-supervisor of the second project. Prof. Wong Pak Kin is the co-supervisor of the second project.  

The project, “Movable Ergonomic Seat for Vehicle”, co-designed by students Deng Jiaming, Hong Ka Hou, Leong Un Lok, Im Wa Ian, Iong In Wa, Ieong Ka Lok, and Mak Ka Chon, can help senior people and people with disabilities to get on and off the bus more easily. It stood out from 55 projects from 42 universities, for its practicability and innovative concept.

The project, “Ergonomic Bus System for Visually Impaired People”, co-designed by Lam Wai Lon and Law Man Kit, has a digital braille generator and an RFID stick, which not only can help visually impaired people obtain bus information at the bus stop, but also allow them to communicate with the bus driver to make their bus-riding experience safer.

The two projects provide advanced solutions to the problems in the public transport system in Macao, and are expected to enhance the quality of barrier-free facilities in Macao.
