Guangzhou – A student team from Shien-Ming Wu School of Intelligent Engineering has secured the highest award at the 18th Guangdong Challenge Cup Competition for College Students' Academic and Technological Works. Guided by Professor Xie Longhan, the seven-member team – Zining Zhang, Haobin Chen, Ze Lin, Zhaoji Wu, Lunqian Chen, Hao Huang, and Xianzhang Zeng – earned the provincial Special Prize for their project Brain-Controlled Intelligence: Multi-modal BCI Technology and Applications.

This year marks comprehensive achievement for the School across all tiers of the competition. Teams collected 1 Special Prize, 1 First Prize, and 4 Second Prizes at the university-level contest before claiming the provincial Special Prize – demonstrating significant advancement in both quality and quantity of awards. These accomplishments reflect the School's commitment to research excellence through intellectual rigor and dedicated effort.

The winning project addresses critical challenges in brain-controlled rehabilitation: prolonged equipment calibration time, low cross-user recognition accuracy, and limited human-machine coordination. The team developed an innovative prefrontal multi-modal BCI system, achieving clinical implementation of a brain-controlled rehabilitation robot – contributing directly to brain-inspired intelligence development in assistive technology.

From the university competition launch in October 2024 through the provincial finals in May 2025, student teams refined projects through intensive coaching with strong institutional support. Their cross-platform success includes: securing 100,000 RMB provincial funding through the Guangdong Climb Plan, obtaining national innovation project designation, and featuring on Shenzhen TV's Scientists Respond program.

The School continues to advance its interdisciplinary engineering education model while building robust innovation-entrepreneurship-creation platforms. With the China International College Innovation Competition 2025 deadline approaching on June 25, the School encourages its community to maintain this pioneering spirit in scientific exploration – harnessing young talent to propel technological advancement.
