Undergraduate Design Projects

0201736巴雷特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，直接帮助怀俄明州的残疾人。这项活动将在大学有才华的学生和有辅助技术需求的个人之间提供重要的联系。学生将创建并提供原型、定制设计的设备，以提高个人的生活质量。此外，该计划还将培训新的设计工程师，了解社区残疾成员的特殊需求。该项目的目标如下：为工科学生提供多学科、有意义的社区服务体验为残疾人士提供辅助设备，使他们能够实现最大限度的个人成长和发展，并使他们有机会参与生活的方方面面向工科学生提供教育，并使他们认识到残疾人士的特殊需要和挑战向本科生提供工程生物医学领域的机会。工程学院与三个提供与残疾相关的教育和服务的组织建立了合作伙伴关系。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)以及他们的运动和户外辅助娱乐(SOAR)项目以及该大学的特殊教育计划。残疾人士将与一个工科学生团队联系起来，提供针对他们需求的定制辅助设备原型。

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.
