Undergraduate Bioengineering Design Projects to Aid the Disabled

该提案的目的是：1)为有精神或身体残疾的儿童和成人提供更好的教育体验和更自给自足的能力。2)为设计、建造和实现帮助有需要的人的设备的工程学生提供最高级的培训；这种“真实世界”的经历肯定会产生巨大的动力，并培养一种独特的目标感和自豪感的工程教育。3)为工程学院提供一个为社区提供独特服务的机会。4)为生物工程学术界提供在大学内建设基础设施的机会。

The purpose of this proposal is to: 1) provide children and adults with mental or physical disabilities with an improved educational experience and a more self-sufficient capability. 2) provide superlative training for the engineering student who designs, builds and implements a device to help a person in need; this "real world" experience will certainly generate great motivation and foster an engineering education with a unique sense of purpose and pride. 3) provide the engineering school with an opportunity to perform a unique service to the community. 4) provide the bioengineering academic community an opportunity to build infrastructure within the university.
