Frequently Asked
Questions
How do I sign up for this course?
The course is available in Axess under ENGR110 for 1 or 2 units. Sign up for 1
unit if you want to take the seminar only, and for 2 units if youd like
to work on a project. See the sample syllabus for
details on what project work will entail during the Winter Quarter.
What is the structure of the course?
The course will consist of weekly lectures and individual project meetings
(once teams are formed). Each class will at 4:15pm with approximately 15
minutes of logistical and administrative discussion. Lectures will start
promptly at 4:30pm. Students will work in teams of 2 to 4 to interact with
users, project partners, and coaches to identify needs and potential design
concepts. See syllabus for specific project
assignments.
Can I work on a project if I cant take ME113
in the Spring Quarter?
We would like to include as many students as are interested in the assistive
technology projects and will try to accommodate different schedules. There are
a few different possibilities for the Assistive Technology Sequence:
- One-unit option take just the E110/210 seminar in
the Winter Quarter, no project, no continuation in the Spring Quarter
- Two-unit option take E110/210 seminar and project
work in the Winter Quarter, continue to ME113 in the Spring Quarter
- Two-unit option take E110/210 seminar and project
work in the Winter Quarter, continue with independent study credit in the
Spring Quarter
- Two-unit option take E110/210 seminar and project
work in the Winter Quarter, no continuation in the Spring Quarter
**
** We would prefer that students choosing to work
on a project in the Winter Quarter will continue into the Spring Quarter, but
we may be able to make exceptions if necessary.
