Putting Play Within Reach
BU student engineers applied their skills to add accessibility features to 100 toys, which they're donating to children with disabilities.
The great engineering challenges of today and tomorrow will not be solved by expertise from any single discipline. They will require converging the knowledge and viewpoints of diverse people from multiple disciplines. The Boston University College of Engineering has created a strategy that seeks to capitalize on, and accelerate, this transformative approach to engineering innovation and education.
Bashir Khalil, a biomedical engineering student, has set about making soccer more accessible.
