Students participate in a variety of activities modeling different disabilities. They gain a better understanding of physical limitations while performing tasks at workstations without the use of their thumbs (taped down), impaired vision (various glasses) and impaired mobility (using crutches and wheelchairs).

Like biomedical engineers, students are challenged to design with the purpose of helping make a particular task easier for another person.
