AB  - Whilst the Senior Capstone Design Project course has traditionally been used to train students of engineering (E) and engineering technology (ET) with practical skills and to prepare them for real engineering life, there has been somewhat of a lack of training and encouragement of students to become entrepreneurs after graduating from their degree programs.  

Through recent modifications and additions to the course content offered by the ECE and EET programs at __________ _____ University, the Capstone Design course experience now includes a component the seeks to encourage the development of entrepreneurial skills in the for our Capstone Design Students.
In this paper we will present the design of an innovative Hands-Free Computer Controller (MouseHead), that was designed for use by individuals with physical impairments and disabilities. The paper also discusses some of the entrepreneurial aspects that were incorporated in the course through design process, and preliminary results from the project will be presented.

The limitations experienced by individuals with impairments and disabilities create many difficulties for those individuals, especially their ability to use certain technology. With technology being such a driving force in society, more opportunities are created for those who are not able to leave their homes as easily. Individuals with impairments such as amputees, and paraplegics, need alternate ways of operating computers. Using mouse controls and typing may be difficult for those individuals those with limited to no arm control which eliminates an avenue they could use for work and improving their lifestyle. MouseHead is designed to address this problem. It provides users the ability to control their computer using a combination of head movement, blinking, voice control, and simple gestures. Users will be able to move their head position to control the cursor, use their voice to operate simple functions, and even blink to control the mouse clicks. MouseHead gives those with impairments and disabilities the ability to completely operate a computer hands-free.
