9410490 Culver The proposed research is in the Undergraduate Design Projects Program category, and requests support for undergraduate and graduate student engineers to provide prototype "custom designed" devices and software to aid persons with disabilities. The primary goal of this thrust is to provide meaningful design experience for the engineering student that will directly aid a specific disabled individual. A formal program is in place at SUNY Binghamton which will ensure satisfactory progress is attained on these projects. A group of students and the investigators on the grant will work with a number of collaborating agencies and individuals on these projects. Fifty- five projects are planned during the five ear duration of this award, and a written report on the completed projects will be submitted for an annual publication. Once completed, each project will be given to the person for whom it is designed. The hope is that this "real world" experience will give engineering students a sense of purpose and pride, help engineering schools serve the community, attract new students into engineering, and raise student interest in graduate education. This type of undertaking is important since it provides a meaningful experience for engineering students as part of their undergraduate design requirements, and will also benefit a population where customization is often needed for rehabilitation devices. ***

9410490卡尔弗建议的研究属于本科生设计项目计划类别，并要求为本科生和研究生工程师提供支持，以提供原型的“定制设计”设备和软件，以帮助残疾人。这一努力的主要目标是为工科学生提供有意义的设计经验，从而直接帮助特定的残疾人。纽约州立大学宾厄姆顿分校制定了一项正式方案，将确保这些项目取得令人满意的进展。一组学生和研究人员将在这些项目上与许多合作机构和个人合作。在该奖项为期五年的时间内计划了55个项目，并将提交一份关于已完成项目的书面报告，供每年出版。一旦完成，每个项目都将赠送给为其设计的人。希望通过这一次真实世界的体验，让工科学生有一种使命感和自豪感，帮助工科学校服务社会，吸引新生进入工科，并提高学生对研究生教育的兴趣。这种类型的项目很重要，因为它为工科学生提供了一种有意义的体验，作为他们本科设计要求的一部分，也将使经常需要定制康复设备的人群受益。***
