This program immerses undergraduate students in engineering and computer science research projects that aim to improve the lives of people with movement disabilities. Students will live on campus at Cleveland State University and work with faculty mentors on research projects full-time for ten weeks during the summer of 2017. The areas of research include balance training for elderly adults, joint mechanics, control of prosthetic legs, and functional restoration of paralyzed limbs. Students will interact with both engineers and medical professionals. Students will have the chance to develop relationships with people with various movement disabilities caused by amputation, stroke, spinal cord injury, and other neuromuscular conditions. Students in all engineering disciplines, computer science, math, or physics are welcome to apply. Students with disabilities are especially encouraged to apply.
