June 30, 2020

Initiative We will be Engineers! presented the Engineering Spark 2020 awards at the Presidential Palace. The purpose of the award is to highlight breakthrough or original practices, projects and events that make an important contribution to the development, validity and enthusiasm of the engineering profession and innovation in society. The Engineering Spark 2020 was also awarded to the Faculty of Electrical Engineering for the development of a prototype medical ventilator that could be used in the event of a severe Covid-19 outbreak. During the first wave of the epidemic, we developed the prototype together with partners and students in the Laboratory for Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics. The development was initiated by the head of LPVO Prof. Marko Topič and lead by Prof. Marko Jankovec.
