About
Assistive Technology Lab (ATL) is the innovative initiative of Sri. K.V. Vishnu Raju, the Chairperson of Sri Vishnu Educational Society and was set up under the guidance of Prof. Alan Rux in collaboration with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, USA Started in 2009. ATL works for a unique and noble cause by designing projects that will make a difference in the lives of people with disabilities. This is a small but definite step to mainstream people with disabilities into society.
It is intended to be a real-time platform for the students to learn and experience the engineering design process, to apply their academic skills in a real-world context, and develop important workplace skills not usually taught in the classroom.
Vision
- To ensure that people with disabilities have access to appropriate technology
- To ensure students & faculty serve society by working on social problems
- To inculcate the nature of participating in international & National competition
Objectives
