Model Programs in Education: Engineering and the Disabled

通过两个阶段的奋进，这项调查是 启动一个示范项目，让残疾人意识到 他们成为工程师的潜力， 创新的方法，将这些人带入 工程教育体系 第一阶段特殊教育 私立和公立学校的工作人员以及其他有 与残疾人直接互动，解释 该计划，并争取他们的援助，以实现这些目标。 %%% 类似地，工程公司和企业 目前正在与各组织接触，请它们承诺 残疾人的教育和就业。 %%% 第二阶段的工作包括探讨如何 使工程教育成为可能，并吸引 禁用. 招聘工具正在划分，从互动 计算机程序到激励手册。 一个外联研讨会 其主要目的将是使一个 残疾人的工程事业是人们心目中的现实 残疾人和残疾人工作者的权利。 %%% 第三阶段的计划，将看到模型程序 扩大到全国性的论坛。 经验教训和 在当前项目中获得的知识将被转移 有关人士认为，区域中心的战略 在美国的位置。

Through a two phase endeavor, this investigation is initiating a model program that will make the disabled aware of their potential to become engineers, and is establishing innovative means to bring these individuals into the engineering education system. Phase one special education personnel in private and public schools and others who have direct interaction with the disabled to explain the goals of the program and enlist their aid in achieving these goals. %%% In similar fashion, engineering firms and profesesional organizations are being approached to make a commitment to the education and employment of the disabled. %%% The work of the second phase involves exploring for ways to make engineering education possible and attractive to the disabled. Recruited tools are being divised, from interactive computer programs to incentive booklets. An outreach seminar is being planned whose main purpose will be to make an engineering career for the handicapped a reality in the minds of the disabled and those who work with the disabled. %%% A third phase is planned and would see the model program expanded to a nationwide forum.
