9978962MollendorfThe proposed research is in the Undergraduate Design Projects Program category, and requests support for undergraduate student engineers to provide prototype "custom designed" devices and software to aid persons with disabilities. The primary goal is to provide meaningful design experiences for the engineering student that will directly aid a specific disabled individual. A formal program is in place at SUNY Buffalo which will ensure satisfactory progress is attained on these projects. A group of students and the investigators will work with a collaborating agency and individuals on these projects. Seventy-five projects are planned during the five year 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.

9978962Mollendorf拟议的研究是在本科设计项目计划类别，并要求支持本科生工程师提供原型“定制设计”的设备和软件，以帮助残疾人。 主要目标是为工程专业的学生提供有意义的设计经验，直接帮助特定的残疾人。 纽约州立大学布法罗分校正在实施一项正式的计划，以确保这些项目取得令人满意的进展。 一组学生和调查人员将与一个合作机构和个人在这些项目上合作。 在该奖项的五年期限内，计划有75个项目，并将提交一份关于已完成项目的书面报告，供年度出版。 一旦完成，每个项目将被给予的人，它是为谁设计的。 希望这种“真实的世界”的经验将给工程专业的学生一种目的感和自豪感，帮助工程学校服务于社区，吸引新的学生进入工程，并提高学生对研究生教育的兴趣。这种类型的事业是重要的，因为它为工程专业的学生提供了一个有意义的经验，作为他们本科设计要求的一部分，并且还将有益于经常需要定制康复装置的人群。
