Multidisciplinary Senior Design Project
Propulsion Device for Manual Wheelchair
My exhibit will profile the steps and exploration taken in the development of my manual wheelchair power assist device, including breakdown of user needs, existing comparable products, room for improvement, ideation, and prototyping. A live working version of my prototype and materials used will be present. I will engage individually with visitors to discuss the importance of design work in the disability community. Note: Although I am 4 days past the deadline, for accessibility reasons I would like to be placed in the Gordon Field House if at all possible. I would like my exhibit to be separate from the Industrial Design Capstone Show, as my work is more focused on engineering and I would like to engage with those visitors.
