Mid-term Student Project Presentations

Students working on projects have chosen a problem experienced by individuals with disabilities and have been working to research, brainstorm, design, fabricate, and test a prototype device or software to address an identified challenge or problem.

Students will give an informal (ungraded) three-minute presentation in class that does not include PowerPoint slides or screen-sharing.The presentation should include the following elements for those working on fabrication projects: project title, background, problem, aim, design criteria, "understanding the problem" & design criteria & brainstorming activities, and selected solution(s) to be pursued. Students working on the same project will present together. For students working on non-fabrication projects the presentation should include: project title, background, activities performed, and future plans.

Students taking the course asynchronously will submit a three-minute video to be shared.
