Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Description:

A comprehensive exploration of wearable technology through hands-on projects. Students will study the history and evolution of wearable devices, the design and evaluation of new technologies, as well as human-machine interaction. Students will engage in projects such as remotely controlling a robotic hand with a wearable glove, building heart rate and oximetry monitors for medical devices, creating a personalized mini-Fitbit that can count steps and monitor biometrics signals, and designing wearables that enhance athletic training through sensory feedback. Additionally, the course covers the fundamentals of initiating an innovative research project, offering students the chance to present their work at the Trailblazer Symposium. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs)** At the successful conclusion of this course students will: 1) Design and prototype wearable technology using sensors and microcontrollers. 2) Apply human-centered design principles to create assistive devices. 3) Develop hands-free assistive technology. 4) Acquire and apply new knowledge using appropriate learning strategies.
