REHABILITATION ENGINEERING TRAINING
PROGRAM AT THE
MASTERS LEVEL
A training program is available at WSU which is
intended to increase the supply
of qualified personnel providing rehabilitation engineering
services to persons who have
disabilities and who are clients of rehabilitation agencies and
facilities. The program
started in Fall 1991, and is in direct response to manpower needs
in the State of Ohio and the U.S.
The program can be completed in 12 months. It
consists of 60 quarter hours of
lecture/lab courses including an internship within a
rehabilitation center. The internship
provides practical experience working with
rehabilitation teams and laboratories with
special applicability to this training.
BME's, HFE's, EE's, & ME's have successfully
completed the program to date.
Applicants should apply to the Graduate School for admission to the Masters of
Science
in Engineering with emphasis in Rehabilitation Engineering and contact
Dr. Rowley.
Enrollment in this program is limited to available internship positions.
GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS IN REHABILITATION ENGINEERING
Applications are being accepted for MS level Graduate Fellowships in the
Rehabilitation
Engineering Training Program for next Fall. These are one year
fellowships that start in September and go through August. Those
receiving a fellowship may
do their internship within a rehabilitation center in Dayton,
Ohio. Upon satisfactory
completion of the program, the Master of Science in
Engineering will be awarded.
Prerequisites for a fellowship include a BS in Engineering, U.S. citizenship or
