Abstract
We describe and critique a specialization of a freshman engineering design projects class that involves students in the design of assistive technology devices for clients from the community. The class is part of the new Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory at the University of Colorado. The course has now been offered three times. While the course is quite generally successful, we have determined that there are areas which we can improve
