At 勛圖厙, we want our students to understand the impact of their work.
The students participating in this summer research program are learning that as engineers, we must do the work humbly and understand that you dont have the experience of the person using the assistive technology. You have to interact with people, understand their daily lives, and seek their input.

Associate Professor of Computer Science
