Frequently Asked
Questions
-
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 and a team-based
assistive technology design project. Lectures will start promptly at 4:15pm.
Students will work in teams of not more than three and interact with users,
project partners, and coaches to identify needs and potential design concepts
and fabricate and test a functional assistive technology device. See the course
syllabus for more details on the course
structure.
-
Can I work on a project if I
can’t take ME113 in the Spring Quarter?
While the teaching team
would like to include as many students as are interested in the assistive
technology projects, we try to accommodate different schedules and situations.
These are the possibilities for the Assistive Technology Sequence:
-
-
Three-unit option for
undergraduates – enroll in ENGR110, participate in a team-based
project in the Winter Quarter and continue working on the project in ME113 in
the Spring Quarter. This option can be taken for a letter grade or Credit / No
Credit.
-
Three-unit option for graduate
students – enroll in ENGR210, participate in a team-based
project in the Winter Quarter and continue working on the project with
independent study credit in the Spring Quarter. This option can be taken for a
letter grade or Credit / No Credit.
-
Three-unit option –
enroll in ENGR110/210, participate in a team-based project in the Winter
Quarter with no project continuation in the Spring Quarter. This option can be
taken for a letter grade or Credit / No Credit. **
-
One-unit option for Credit / No
Credit – enroll in the lecture-only ENGR110/210 option in the
Winter Quarter without participation in a team-based project and no
continuation in the Spring Quarter
-
One-unit option for a Letter
Grade – enroll in the lecture-only ENGR110/210 option in the
Winter Quarter and research an assistive technology topic or pursue a paper
design of an assistive technology device
** The teaching team encourages
student teams working on ENGR110/210 projects to continue their efforts into
the Spring Quarter.
