0436538MollendorfThis research project is in the Undergraduate Design Projects Program category, and supports undergraduate student engineers in providing prototype "custom designed" devices and software to aid persons with disabilities. The primary goal of the activity is to provide meaningful design experiences for the engineering student that will directly aid a specific disabled individual. A formal program is in place at SUNY Buffalo, which will ensure satisfactory progress is attained on these projects. A group of students and the Principal Investigator will work with Aspire, Inc., a collaborating agency, and individuals with disabilities on the projects. Seventy-five projects are expected to be completed during the five-year duration of this award. A written report on the completed projects will be submitted for an annual publication. When completed, each project will be given to the person for whom it is designed. The hope is that this "real world" experience will give engineering students a sense of purpose and pride, help engineering schools serve the community, attract new students into engineering, and raise student interest in graduate education. This type of undertaking is important since it provides a meaningful experience for engineering students as part of their undergraduate design requirements, and will also benefit a population where customization is often needed for rehabilitation devices.

0436538Mollendorf该研究项目属于本科设计项目计划类别，支持本科生工程师提供原型“定制设计”设备和软件，以帮助残疾人。该活动的主要目标是为工程专业的学生提供有意义的设计经验，直接帮助特定的残疾人。纽约州立大学布法罗分校已经制定了一个正式的计划，这将确保这些项目取得令人满意的进展。一组学生和主要研究者将与Aspire公司合作，一个合作机构，和残疾人的项目。预计将有75个项目在该奖项的五年期内完成。将提交关于已完成项目的书面报告，供每年出版。当完成后，每个项目将被给予的人，它是为谁设计的。希望这种“真实的世界”的经验将给工程专业的学生一种目的感和自豪感，帮助工程学校服务于社会，吸引新的学生进入工程，并提高学生对研究生教育的兴趣。这种类型的事业是重要的，因为它提供了一个有意义的经验，工程专业的学生作为他们的本科设计要求的一部分，也将有利于人口的定制往往需要康复设备。
