Examples of undergraduate students projects in the area of assistive technologies

Abstract

Within the SALEIE project LLP Programme 527877-LLP-1-2012-“Strategic Alignment of Electrical and Information Engineering in European Higher Education Institutions”, work package 4 is concerned with Widening Participation & Student Support. As an integral part of this work package, consideration is to be given to how students with disabilities can be supported throughout their studies within the electrical and information engineering (EIE) disciplines. An important result of this project will be the on-line Student Support Centre, which is planned to include a technical resource area on undergraduate student projects in the field of designing and using assistive technologies. The purpose of this paper is to present several examples of projects at undergraduate level, undertaken in the area of assistive technologies by students from the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
