From July 11th to August 13th, the UMASS Assistive Technology Team will be traveling to Hyderabad, Bhimavaram and Hubli, India to teach Assistive Technology. The team consists of David Harrington, Erin Webster, William Gould and Professor Alan Rux.
The purpose of Assistive Technology is to use the abilities of an engineer to develop a device that will help a particular person who is differently-abled. These devices are custom designed for an individual, and the engineer must meet with their client, understand their difficulties and design a device that will make their life better.
We will also be involved with Engineering Education using Assistive Technology, Robotics and Electric Vehicles.
We will be posting our adventures along the way here.
