Undergraduate Design Projects

[201736] barrettt该项目的目的是为怀俄明大学工程学院的学生提供有意义的设计体验，这将直接帮助怀俄明州的残疾人。这项活动将为大学的优秀学生和需要辅助技术的人士提供重要的联系。学生将创造并提供原型，定制设计的设备，以提高个人的生活质量。此外，这个项目将教育新的设计工程师了解社区残疾人的特殊需求。该项目有以下目标：为工科学生提供一个多学科，有意义的，社区服务经验为残疾人提供辅助设备，使他们能够最大限度地实现个人成长和发展，并为他们提供参与生活各个方面的机会。为工程专业的学生提供有关残疾人特殊需要和挑战的教育和意识。工程学院与三个组织合作，提供与残疾有关的教育和服务。这些组织是怀俄明州残疾人研究所（WIND）辅助技术计划，怀俄明州新技术选择（WYNOT）及其运动和户外辅助娱乐（SOAR）项目以及该大学的特殊教育计划。残障人士将与工程专业学生组成的团队联系起来，根据他们的需求提供定制设计的辅助设备原型。

0201736BarrettThe purpose of this project is to provide a meaningful design experience for University of Wyoming, College of Engineering students that will directly aid individuals with disabilities within the state of Wyoming. This activity will provide a vital link between the University's talented students and individuals with assistive technology needs. Students will create and provide prototype, custom designed devices that will enhance the quality of life for the individual. Also, this program will educate new design engineers on the special needs of community members with disabilities. The project has the following objectives:Provide engineering students a multi-disciplinary, meaningful, community service experienceProvide persons with disabilities assistive devices to empower them to achieve the maximum individual growth and development and afford them the opportunity to participate in all aspects of lifeProvide engineering students education and awareness on the special needs and challenges of persons with disabilitiesProvide undergraduate engineering students exposure to the biomedical field of engineering.The College of Engineering has partnered with three organizations that provide education and service related to disability. The organizations are the Wyoming Institute for Disabilities (WIND) assistive technology program, Wyoming New Options in Technology (WYNOT) and their Sports and Outdoor Assistive Recreation (SOAR) project along with the university's Special Education program. Individuals with disabilities will be linked with a team of engineering students to provide a prototype custom-designed assistive device specific to their needs.
