Project ideas are welcomed. Generally, these ideas must meet the following criteria:
1. Projects must be able to be completed in 12 weeks by a small team of students.
2. A device meeting the need should not be commercially available.
3. Students should interact with the individual(s) for whom they are designing. This normally means that clients will live in the Triangle (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) area.
4. Each project needs to have participation from a health care professional (e.g. OT, PT, SLP), teacher or work coach.
