Applications of Engineering Design for Persons with Disabilities

该奖项将资助本科生设计项目，为残疾人开发定制软件和/或设备。这是印度理工学院的教师/学生和玛丽安乔伊康复医院的工作人员/病人共同承担的任务。该小组每年将开展六个项目，并就完成的项目提供书面报告。这种类型的工作很重要，因为它不仅为工程专业的学生提供了有意义的项目，作为他们教育的一部分，而且还将使那些通常需要定制以增加设备和/或软件的有用性的人群受益。

This award will fund Undergraduate Design Projects to develop custom software and/or devices for persons with disabilities. This is a joint undertaking between faculty/students at IIT and staff/patients at Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital. The group will work on six projects per year and will provide written reports on the projects completed. This type of undertaking is important since not only will it provide meaningful projects for engineering students to complete as part of their education, but it will also benefit a population where customization is usually required to increase the usefulness of the devices and/or software.
