9501654 The goal of this research is to develop engineering design criteria that will assist in modifying industrial tasks and environments to allow the inclusion of persons with disabilities. Specifically, the following objectives are pursued: (1) develop engineering criteria for designing occupational tasks and environment to accommodate persons with disability, (2) cmntribute to research efforts aimed at designing occupational environments to accommodate disabled persons, (3) assist in increasing the number of qualified engineers available to transfer and implement the findings from the research in industrial settings or work places. The research will identify various strategies, survey tools, and analysis techniques that can be readily used in an industrial setting. These parameters will then be evaluated and validated in an industrial setting for possible inclusion in the design methodology. One of the tangible outcomes of the research is the development of an intelligent computer based system to assist in making decisions associated with designing and retrofitting work tasks and work places to accommodate disabled persons. Paraplegic and the visually impaired constitute the core group on which the research is targeted. Several benefits can be ascribed to this research if it becomes successful. The impact on the national economy can be significant as many more people with physical disabilities can enter the workforce and contribute to the productivity of the country. Many people with disabilities will experience economic gains, and gains in the sense of security from workplace hazards and injuries resulting from very poor systems design. The research outcome can advance the state-of-knowledge in accommodating the needs of the disabled. This will lead to the production of design standards for tools and workplaces that will not only benefit disabled persons but also the entire general population.

9501654 这项研究的目标是制定工程设计标准，协助修改工业任务和环境，以便将残疾人纳入其中。 具体而言，力求实现以下目标：（1）制定设计职业任务和环境以容纳残疾人的工程标准，（2）促进旨在设计职业环境以容纳残疾人的研究工作，（3）协助增加合格工程师的人数，以便在工业环境或工作场所转让和实施研究结果。 该研究将确定各种战略，调查工具和分析技术，可以很容易地在工业环境中使用。 然后，将在工业环境中对这些参数进行评估和验证，以便可能纳入设计方法。 这项研究的具体成果之一是开发了一个基于计算机的智能系统，以协助做出与设计和改造工作任务和工作场所以适应残疾人有关的决定。 截瘫和视障人士是研究的核心对象。 如果这项研究取得成功，它可以带来几个好处。 对国民经济的影响可能是巨大的，因为更多的身体残疾人可以进入劳动力市场，为国家的生产力做出贡献。 许多残疾人将获得经济收益，并从工作场所危险和因非常糟糕的系统设计造成的伤害中获得安全感。 研究结果可提升照顾残疾人士需要的知识水平。 这将导致制定工具和工作场所的设计标准，这不仅将使残疾人受益，也将使整个公众受益。
