Student Projects
Many of the Rehabilitation R&D Center's early successful projects began
as student design team projects in the Mechanical Engineering Department of
Stanford University. We have lately established similar relationships with the
Industrial Engineering Department at California State University, San Jose.
Students work on Rehab R&D Center-initiated projects which primarily
fulfill an academic course requirement. For each student project initiated
through the Center, the students, faculty advisor, academic course, and Rehab
R&D liaison are indicated.
