A Community
Effort by Temasek Engineering School
Using technology
to meet the needs of the community is the emphasis in Temasek
Engineering School.
As part of their
efforts to contribute to society, a segment of the final year
projects from the Temasek Engineering School are dedicated
to Community Services. Thus the idea for Assistive Technology...
Student Final Year Project + Community Service = Assistive Technology
The products designed
and constructed by the students have functions ranging from mobility
assistance to hearing assistance. Some of the projects highlighted
here include a height-adjustable sink,
a doorbell for the deaf,
visual assistance for the blind, etc. They undoubtedly make life
much easier for people with disabilities.
To date, many
organizations like the Disabled People's Association of Singapore,
the Spastic Children's Association, Alexandra Hospital, Mount Alvernia
Hospital and Tan Tock Seng Hospital have benefited from the Engineering
students' innovative designs in Assistive Technology.
