This VIP introduces students to the mission of advancing global assistive technology innovation through collaboration, co-design, and locally driven solutions. Through collaboration with our Rwandan partners, students will explore concepts of co-design, sustainability, and localization. They will work in sub-teams to develop projects that advance locally relevant assistive technology innovation.

This interdisciplinary, project-based course challenges students to engineer a low-cost scanning LiDAR system from the ground up and integrate it into a fully autonomous RC vehicle-based testbed. Students will work in collaborative teams to bridge the gap between hardware and software, focusing on the precision of laser-based sensing and the logic of autonomous navigation.

Multidisciplinary, project-based, team-based course supporting faculty research. Students can participate multiple semesters. 4000-level students will: have strong foundations within their disciplines; further pursue needed knowledge/skills; make meaningful contributions; take on significant responsibilities in technical areas and/or team leadership.
