On a campus known for accessibility innovation, Michigan State University’s College of Engineering is a longstanding partner with the Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities (RCPD). Working together, RCPD and Engineering faculty facilitate projects that inform students of universal design and the life-changing role that well-designed technology plays in providing access.
Each semester, students participate in the MSU College of Engineering’s Design Day, a celebration of their hard work and a chance for them to display their engineering projects as well as compete against each other for recognition.
Every year, RCPD secures funding and challenges engineering students to create feasible universal solutions and showcase them at the renowned Engineering Design Day.
“We’re out there involved in giving back to the community, providing opportunities for students, and making the world more accessible,†said Design Day project sponsor representative Stephen Blosser.
