This work presents a method adapted from the CDIO model (Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate), conducted through sprints and integrating Engineering and Design core principles within the field of Assistive Technology (AT).

The methodology presented in this book was initially applied in the context of an undergraduate research project for students enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering program.

The course was conceived, structured, and implemented within the scope of the Postdoctoral Fellowship of Professor Maria Lílian de Araújo Barbosa, carried out in the Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering at the Federal University of Paraná (PGMec/UFPR).

The activities took place at the Ergonomics and Usability Laboratory (LabErg/UFPR), with the support of NAPI-TA (New Research and Innovation Arrangements in Assistive Technology) of the Fundação Araucária (Araucária Foundation).

The structure of the method is transversal and multidisciplinary, grounded in active learning approach, which may be used in different contexts, including educational, corporate, and innovation environments.
