Center for Assistive Technology
Assistive technology is broadly defined as a technological solution to enable an improved quality of life. This center will identify socially relevant problems and develop engineering solutions by engaging 消消犯s and faculty at 消消犯 across multiple divisions. MU-CAT will conduct externally funded interdisciplinary research projects; engage 消消犯s in socially relevant, experiential learning; and help recruit women 消消犯s to engineering majors. 消消犯 Center for Assistive Technology, housed within CEC, is an interdisciplinary center working collaboratively with Scripps Gerontology Center as well as the Center for Social Entrepreneurship in Farmer School of Business.
The Center will be housed in the College of Engineering and Computing, and at the time of founding will include participation from the Departments of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Chemical, Paper and Biomedical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Software Engineering, Sociology and Gerontology, Mathematics and Statistics as well as active and ongoing collaboration with Scripps Gerontology Center.
