Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How do I sign up for this course?
    The course is available in Axess under ENGR110 for 1 or 2 units. Sign up for 1 unit if you want to take the seminar only, and for 2 units if you’d like to work on a project. See the sample syllabus for details on what project work will entail during the Winter Quarter.

  2. What is the structure of the course?
    The course will consist of weekly lectures and individual project meetings (once teams are formed). Each class will at 4:15pm with approximately 15 minutes of logistical and administrative discussion. Lectures will start promptly at 4:30pm. Students will work in teams of 2 to 4 to interact with users, project partners, and coaches to identify needs and potential design concepts. See syllabus for specific project assignments.

  3. Can I work on a project if I can’t take ME113 in the Spring Quarter?
    We would like to include as many students as are interested in the assistive technology projects and will try to accommodate different schedules. There are a few different possibilities for the Assistive Technology Sequence:

  • One-unit option – take just the E110/210 seminar in the Winter Quarter, no project, no continuation in the Spring Quarter
  • Two-unit option – take E110/210 seminar and project work in the Winter Quarter, continue to ME113 in the Spring Quarter
  • Two-unit option – take E110/210 seminar and project work in the Winter Quarter, continue with independent study credit in the Spring Quarter
  • Two-unit option – take E110/210 seminar and project work in the Winter Quarter, no continuation in the Spring Quarter **

** We would prefer that students choosing to work on a project in the Winter Quarter will continue into the Spring Quarter, but we may be able to make exceptions if necessary.
