This award will fund Undergraduate Design Projects to develop custom software and/or devices for persons with disabilities. This is a joint undertaking between faculty/students at IIT and staff/patients at Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital. The group will work on six projects per year and will provide written reports on the projects completed. This type of undertaking is important since not only will it provide meaningful projects for engineering students to complete as part of their education, but it will also benefit a population where customization is usually required to increase the usefulness of the devices and/or software.

该奖项将资助为残疾人开发定制软件和/或设备的本科生设计项目。这是IIT的教职员工/学生和马里安霍伊康复医院的工作人员/患者共同承担的任务。该小组每年将开展六个项目，并将就已完成的项目提供书面报告。这种类型的项目很重要，因为它不仅将为工科学生提供作为其教育的一部分而完成的有意义的项目，而且还将使通常需要定制以增加设备和/或软件的可用性的人群受益。
