Engineering Senior Design Projects to Aid the Disabled

[00:78748]这个为期五年的奖项将资助大学生设计项目，为残疾人开发定制的辅助设备。一组学生和该项目的研究人员将与俄亥俄医学院物理医学和康复部门的卫生保健人员和患者一起研究这些项目。在每学期结束时，将组织一次展览，展示学生们制作的原型以及他们工作的最终口头报告。每年将完成10个项目，并将提交有关项目的书面报告，供年度出版物使用。这种类型的工作很重要，因为它为工程专业的学生提供了有意义的项目，作为他们本科设计要求的一部分，也有利于那些经常需要定制康复设备的人群。

0078748Hefzy, This five year continuing award will fund Undergraduate Design Projects to develop custom assistive devices for persons with disabilities. A group of students and the investigators on the project will work on these projects with health care personnel and patients at the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Unit of the Medical College of Ohio. At the end of each semester an exposition is to be organized to display the prototypes built by the students along with final oral presentations of their work. Ten projects per year are to be completed and written reports on the projects will be submitted for an annual publication.This type of undertaking is important as it provides meaningful projects for engineering students to complete as part of their undergraduate design requirements and also benefits a population where customization is often needed for rehabilitation devices.
