CSE482 Course Goals and Objectives
In this course we consider the complex relationship between people and technology. Your capstone project will likely challenge you to examine the ways in which technology can be both assistive and a potential barrier to individuals.
This course fulfills ABET requirements for the CSE major as well as the Diversity requirement. You will be asked to follow good engineering and documentation practices. Additionally, given the topic of the course and the participation of project Need Experts in your groups, you will be asked to follow participatory design principles in your design activities. This includes not only paying close attention to your stakeholder’s needs, but collaborating with the Need Experts in the full design process.
CSE482 provides students:
Exposure to the engineering, design, economic and social challenges facing designers, engineers, researchers, entrepreneurs, clinicians, older adults, and individuals with disabilities in the design, development, and use of accessible technology
