End-of-term Student
Project Presentations
|
This quarter students have been
addressing problems experienced by individuals with disabilities or older
adults and have been working to research, brainstorm, design, fabricate, and
test a prototype device or software to meet the identified problem or report on
an assistive technology topic. Each student will give a formal presentation
detailing their project activities. Please note that this was a seven-week
individual project effort and the students' prototypes are not intended to
represent commercial offerings.
