Enabling Engineering Summer Showcase
August 18, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
We invite you to the Enabling Engineering Summer Showcase on Friday – August 18th, 11:00am – 2:00pm EST in 002 Ell Hall (360 Huntingtin Ave, 002 Ell Hall, Boston Massachusetts 02115) where students will present their final design projects. We will have our clients present including the director of nurses from Mass Brigham and the Mass Brigham Press.
NU Enabling Engineering works to build devices for individuals with disabilities in Massachusetts and around the world. We maintain relationships with special education schools, community organizations, and individuals, bring projects ideas to campus, and then give students all the resources they need including funding, lab space, equipment, and management and technical support. There’s also a technical elective that students can take for credit to complete projects. Over the past 10 years, more than 1,000 students from across the university have worked on >75 projects.
The overall goal is to train the next generation of engineers, clinicians, and all students to be more knowledgeable about, and aware of, the needs of individuals with disabilities.
