0221597YamaguchiThis award provides support to continue Design Projects' activities begun under NSF award #9631744 at Arizona State University (ASC) 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 biomedical engineering, improve the quality of life of people with disabilities, and serve the community. The past 12 years of design projects activity at ASU led to the successful completion of 109 design projects and training of 115 undergraduate students in basic design principles. The design projects' activity is structured to work successfully within the environment of ASU. Disability Resources for Students (DRS), which provides accommodations for hundreds of mentally and physically disabled students on the ASU campus, will be closely integrated with the student engineers' work. Ten senior design projects are to be pursued each year in conjunction with DRS to develop the prototype devices. Two undergraduate summer interns are to be supported under the program to work part-time at DRS to develop a listing of appropriate projects for the student engineers. A graduate student is to assist in administering the program by helping the undergraduate design teams and fostering new connections between ASU and nearby communities to serve and/or support persons with disabilities. This project is to introduce 10 to 20 new engineers each year to the daily problems faced by the disabled. Additionally, the disabled community will be directly involved as design consultants and thereby increase the participation of an underrepresented group in the activity.

该奖项为亚利桑那州立大学（ASC）的学生为残疾人设计和建造定制项目提供支持，该项目是在NSF奖项#9631744下开始的。这些活动的目的是加强工程教育，让学生深入了解生物医学工程的职业，提高残疾人士的生活质量，并服务社会。在过去的12年里，亚利桑那州立大学的设计项目活动成功完成了109个设计项目，并培养了115名基本设计原理的本科生。设计项目的活动是为了在亚利桑那州立大学的环境中成功地工作。残疾学生资源（DRS）为亚利桑那州立大学校园内数百名精神和身体残疾的学生提供住宿，将与学生工程师的工作紧密结合。每年将与DRS一起进行10个高级设计项目，以开发原型设备。根据该计划，两名本科生暑期实习生将在DRS兼职工作，为学生工程师制定合适的项目清单。研究生将协助管理该项目，帮助本科生设计团队，培养亚利桑那州立大学和附近社区之间的新联系，为残疾人提供服务和/或支持。这个项目是每年引进10到20名新工程师来解决残疾人面临的日常问题。此外，残疾人社区将作为设计顾问直接参与，从而增加一个代表性不足的群体对活动的参与。
