0076310GeThis award provides opportunities for senior engineering students at SUNY Stony Brook to develop and deliver custom-made prototype assistive devices to improve the quality of life for a group of severely disabled children at nearby BOCES (Boards of Cooperative Educational Services of the State of New York) Forest Brook Learning Center. The five year program centers on a systematic approach to engineering design called "Total Design". The design approach requires the students to interact directly with their clients in order to develop the product design specifications based on the specific physical limitations of a physically challenged child and then carry out the design tasks systematically. Eight senior design projects are planned each year to develop prototype devices for the disabled. One of the areas emphasized in these projects is the development of "Adaptive Play Technology" for creating adapted devices and toys that are enjoyable, stimulating, and offer rewarding activities for the child. Another feature of the program is the participation of high school students from the "Young Scholar" program at SUNY Stony Brook. A summer workshop for local high school teachers is planned. The outcome of the program will include the prototype devices developed for the disabled children and a set of case study materials that high school Technology/Science educators could use to stimulate interests of high school students in engineering, and especially assistive technology for the disabled. The education outreach activity will be coordinated with the New York State Standards for Science and Technology. The case study materials will be subjected to the Peer Review process for possible inclusion in the web based American Association for the Advancement of Science MARCOPOLO collaboration.

0076310 ge该奖项为纽约州立大学石溪分校的高级工程专业学生提供了开发和交付定制的原型辅助设备的机会，以改善附近BOCES（纽约州合作教育服务委员会）森林溪学习中心的一群严重残疾儿童的生活质量。这个为期五年的课程以一种被称为“全面设计”的工程设计系统方法为中心。设计方法要求学生直接与客户互动，根据残疾儿童的具体身体限制制定产品设计规范，然后系统地执行设计任务。每年计划进行8个高级设计项目，为残疾人开发原型设备。这些项目强调的领域之一是“适应性游戏技术”的发展，用于创造适合的设备和玩具，这些设备和玩具令人愉快，刺激，并为儿童提供有益的活动。该项目的另一个特点是来自纽约州立大学石溪分校“青年学者”项目的高中生的参与。计划为当地高中教师举办一个夏季讲习班。该项目的成果将包括为残疾儿童开发的原型设备和一套案例研究材料，高中技术/科学教育者可以使用这些材料来激发高中学生对工程，特别是残疾人辅助技术的兴趣。教育推广活动将与纽约州科学和技术标准协调。案例研究材料将经过同行评议程序，以确定是否可能纳入基于网络的美国科学促进会MARCOPOLO合作项目。
