In architectural practice, however disability experience is hardly acknowledged as a valuable resource for design. Since attitudes developed in the educational settings are carried into people's professional careers, this paper examines the added value of mobilizing disability experience to inform architectural education. To this end it analyses the course work of 29 architecture students who attended a course on inclusive design and, in this context, analysed a building in interaction with disabled people. Findings suggest that this interaction contributed to raising students' awareness about the built environment's impact, human variability, and the limits of empathy. In addition, it fostered students' insight into accessibility issues beyond the legal standards, and enriched their understanding of space. This awareness and insight in turn triggered a change in students' attitude towards disabled people. Further research is needed to examine the sustainability of these effects after students have graduated and gained experience in architectural practice.","PeriodicalId":275178,"journal":{"name":"2015 Conference on Raising Awareness for the Societal and Environmental Role of Engineering and (Re)Training Engineers for Participatory Design (Engineering4Society)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115133038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Knowledge centers on assistive technology from Italy, Germany, UK, Denmark, France, Belgium and the Netherlands joined together in the EASTIN Association to disseminate the information about assistive technology (AT) (product information, addresses of manufacturers and distributors, fact sheets, selection procedures ...) stored in their national databases to all citizens of the European Union (EU). This is accomplished via the EASTIN portal, www.eastin.eu, and via National Contacts in the different member states. Main challenges for EASTIN are the differences in the national databases (e.g. used languages, collected data, national policy, used technology), the different cultures in the EU and reaching the end-user of AT. Eastin realizes clearly a broader awareness of the existence of assistive technology in Europe and the rest of the world.","PeriodicalId":275178,"journal":{"name":"2015 Conference on Raising Awareness for the Societal and Environmental Role of Engineering and (Re)Training Engineers for Participatory Design (Engineering4Society)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130885023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim is to create a technical solution thus ensuring that people with intellectual disabilities can use applications to lead fulfilling, independent lives. ATI is developing an accessibility layer that will integrate with existent and future ICT tools. The integration of this accessibility layer will be tested in 3 different pilots in Spain, Belgium and UK, and in 3 different usage scenarios: leisure within the information society, mobility and labor integration. To optimize the design, ATI chooses a collaborative approach with the end-users, i.e. people with IDD. To achieve this, focus groups were set up with people with IDD and with caregivers of people with IDD. The main purpose of this research was to explore the experiences and the current knowledge of people with Intellectual Developmental Disabilities (IDD) regarding social media. This paper mainly focuses on the technological results of the focus groups held in Belgium. Researchers found that people with IDD have a great interest in social media. It holds a lot of possibilities, yet people with IDD also encounter several issues, either with the devices being used, or coming from the application itself. As communicating through social media seems to be a critical issue, the tools developed by ATI can be of great value. A human centered design, including the end-users by the means of focus groups, enables researches to produce customized designing solutions, taking into account the needs and the specific context of use for people with IDD.","PeriodicalId":275178,"journal":{"name":"2015 Conference on Raising Awareness for the Societal and Environmental Role of Engineering and (Re)Training Engineers for Participatory Design (Engineering4Society)","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124142061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This challenge presented an opportunity for the university to use the resources it has - mainly experienced human resources and knowledge - to work on some of the difficulties faced by the immediate community that welcomed us. One of these projects is the use of mobile technology to improve the health services in the district. We developed a health information application that runs on a mobile devices to simplify monitoring data collection from the health officers' routine activity and to automate the aggregation step before reporting to management. The application also gives useful indicators to the health officers in the community based on the routine data they collect to aid their work, as well as a means to provide in service training for health personnel. This paper will report on the process followed to develop the mobile based health information system. We will discuss the approach chosen to develop the application that can be quickly adapted for use in the field to make an impact.","PeriodicalId":275178,"journal":{"name":"2015 Conference on Raising Awareness for the Societal and Environmental Role of Engineering and (Re)Training Engineers for Participatory Design (Engineering4Society)","volume":"91 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113986949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective was to study, discuss and propose the inclusion of Design for All methods and practices in the curricula of undergraduate degrees related to Computer and Telecommunication Engineering, in order to train future professionals able to apply Universal Accessibility principles in their practice of the profession. The flexible and modular structure of the proposed curriculum is described, including the included mandatory and optional modules. The resulting report was presented to the Spanish University Quality Assessment Agency, involved in the updating of the Bachelor degrees in Spain. These recommendations were adopted by several Spanish Universities for their renewed Computer and Telecommunication engineering degrees.","PeriodicalId":275178,"journal":{"name":"2015 Conference on Raising Awareness for the Societal and Environmental Role of Engineering and (Re)Training Engineers for Participatory Design (Engineering4Society)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131174126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
