BME3S02 Assistive Technologies: Service Learning towards the elderly and disabled

Service Learning projects involving real-world clients will be organized through special schools for the people with disabilities, NGOs and other rehabilitation related organizations. During direct service rendering, students will be working in groups to tackle a specific need of the client that is presented to them. Students then will utilize their learned skills to analyse the situation and propose a solution. Whenever feasible, the students will construct the assistive device for the user.
Examples of the projects include designing a device to facilitate daily activities; accessing computer; playing a musical instrument, etc. The outcome of these projects can also include conceptual designs of a complex device or a working prototype.
