Wheelchair Ramps
ECOS has recently finished constructing its third wheelchair ramp on March 1, 2008. Volunteers designed the ramp in CAD, plotted and dug holes, mixed and poured concrete for the posts as well as the landing pad, and built the ramp. Currently there are no other wheelchair ramp projects pending, but contact the VP of Local Projects at ecos.localprojects[at]gmail.com if you’re interested in helping out once we get another project set up.
Engineers for Community Service (ECOS), a student organization at The Ohio State University, promotes life-long professionalism via educational experiences in the uses of engineering skills for local and international community service projects. We value both extra-curricular volunteerism and curricular approaches such as service-learning and recognize some fundamental philosophical tension between these approaches.
