An Annual Review of Engineering Senior Design Projects to Aid Persons with Disabilities

0302351 enderle该奖项支持出版由研究援助残疾人（RAPD）计划支持的所有学生生物医学工程设计项目的年度审查；目前大约有18个奖项在运作。本科设计项目的主要目标是提供通常过于昂贵或不存在的设备或软件，以帮助特定的残疾人，并增加学生的教育机会。拟议的项目是首席研究员根据9956084和9813338奖指导的工作的继续，并将与俄亥俄大学卫生与人类服务学院的共同负责人合作完成。美国国家科学基金会资助的帮助残疾人的项目的年度评论出版物的智力价值有几个组成部分：-作为未来设计项目的手册，以帮助残疾人-激励新的大学参与，因为对学生，学校，和社区-作为个人实施《1990年美国残疾人法案》的参考。年度审查的综合广泛影响有两个目的：-激励个人更积极地在康复领域工作，以增加技术知识基础，更有效地满足残疾人的需求-通过RAPD奖励提高教育成果版采用软封面和重光面纸。每期600册的分发方式如下：各本科设计项目奖主任各5册；每个对生物医学工程感兴趣的学术项目一份；一份给参与康复的州和联邦机构；还有其他一些人也想要这本书以前的版本。《年度评论》出版物的所有版本均可在http://nsf-pad.bme.uconn.edu上获得。

0302351EnderleThe award supports the publication of an annual review of all student biomedical engineering design projects supported by the Research to Aid Persons with Disabilities (RAPD) program; some 18 awards are currently active. The major goal of the undergraduate design projects is to provide devices or software that are typically too expensive, or nonexistent, to aid specific individuals with disabilities, and to enhance the educational opportunities for students. The proposed project is a continuation of work directed b y the Principal Investigator under awards 9596084 and 9813338 and is to be accomplished in cooperation with a Co-PI from the College of Health and Human Services, Ohio University. The intellectual merit of the annual review publication of NSF-funded projects to aid individuals with disabilities has several components:- Serve as a handbook for future design projects to aid persons with disabilities- Motivate new universities to participate because of the potential benefits to the student, school, and the community- Act as a reference for individuals implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990The integrated whole of the broad impacts of the annual review serves two purposes:- Inspire individuals to work more actively in the field of rehabilitation so as to increase the technology knowledge base and more effectively address the needs of persons with disabilities- Enhance the educational outcomes achieved through RAPD awards Six hundred copies of the book are printed for each edition using a soft cover and heavy weight glossy paper. Distribution of the 600 copies per edition is as follows: five copies to the Director of each Undergraduate Design Projects' award; one copy to each academic program with an interest in biomedical engineering; one copy to state and federal agencies involved with rehabilitation; and other individuals who have requested previous editions of the book. All editions of the Annual Review publication are available at http://nsf-pad.bme.uconn.edu.
