0217100EberhardtThis award continues Design Projects' activities begun under NSF award #9704215 at the University of Alabama, Birmingham (UAB), in which students designed and built custom projects for people with disabilities. The objectives of the activities are to enhance engineering education, provide students with insight into careers in rehabilitation, improve the quality of life of people with disabilities, and to serve the community. The previous award led to the successful completion of numerous projects and training of over 40 undergraduate students in basic design principles. Projects are to be featured in regional news media and local television specials, and will be described in international symposia. This new project is expected to expand the number of design projects and will include students from the new Biomedical Engineering (BME) undergraduate program at UAB. The majority of the projects are to be conducted in partnership with United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of Birmingham.

这个奖项延续了阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校(伯明翰分校)在国家科学基金会奖#9704215下开始的设计项目活动，学生们为残疾人设计和建造定制项目。活动的目的是加强工程教育，让学生了解康复行业，改善残疾人士的生活质素，以及服务社会。上一个奖项成功地完成了许多项目，并培训了40多名本科生基本设计原理。项目将在地区性新闻媒体和当地电视专题节目中进行专题报道，并将在国际研讨会上进行介绍。这个新项目预计将扩大设计项目的数量，并将包括UAB新的生物医学工程(BME)本科项目的学生。大多数项目将与伯明翰的联合脑瘫(UCP)合作进行。
