Frequently Asked
Questions by Students
-
How do I sign up for this
course? This three-unit course is available in
Axess under ENGR110. If you are
a graduate student, sign up for ENGR210. For students whose schedule
does not permit working on a team-based project, one-unit lecture-only options
are offered.
-
What is the structure of the
course? The course consists of twice-weekly seminars or facility tours
and a team-based assistive technology design project. Lectures start promptly
at 4:15pm. Students work in teams and interact with users, project partners,
and coaches to identify needs and potential design concepts, fabricate and test
a functional assistive technology device, and report the results of their
efforts.
-
Can I work on a project if I
cant take ME113 in the Spring Quarter? Yes. While the teaching
team encourages student teams working on ENGR110/210 projects to
continue their efforts into the Spring Quarter in ME113, or
CS194, or as independent study, we can accommodate different schedules
and situations.
