Undergraduate Design Projects

0201736Barrett这个项目的目的是为怀俄明州大学工程学院的学生提供一个有意义的设计经验，这将直接帮助怀俄明州州内的残疾人。这项活动将为大学的天才学生和有辅助技术需求的个人之间提供重要的联系。学生将创建和提供原型，定制设计的设备，将提高个人的生活质量。此外，该计划将教育新的设计工程师对社区成员的残疾人的特殊需要。该项目有以下目标：为工程专业学生提供多学科的，有意义的，社区服务的经验提供残疾人辅助设备，使他们能够实现最大的个人成长和发展，并为他们提供参与生活的各个方面的机会为工程专业学生提供教育和认识残疾人的特殊需求和挑战为本科工程专业学生提供接触工程生物医学领域的机会。这些组织是怀俄明州残疾人研究所（WIND）辅助技术计划，怀俄明州新的技术选择（WYNOT）和他们的体育和户外辅助娱乐（SOAR）项目沿着大学的特殊教育计划。残疾人将与一个工程专业的学生团队联系起来，提供一个专门针对他们需求的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.
