theirengineering thinking.IntroductionRecent advancements and accessibility of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools have paved theway for the incorporation of AI into everyday lives. Large language models' rapiddevelopment and evolution point to a shift toward increased automation [1]. Consequently,students must be prepared to excel in an increasingly competitive, AI-driven world [2]. Tothis end, there is a push for integrating AI into educational curricula [3]. The Department ofEducation recently issued guidelines for integrating AI into educational settings to helpachieve learning outcomes [4]. However, the integration of AI in educational contexts,particularly in the K-12 domain, has been limited [5]. Although this can be attributed toseveral factors

Developers’ enthusiasm for accessible development was further hindered by the low priorityof accessibility in organizations that employed them [17]. Even if accessibility features wereimplemented, users were found unaware of the features, necessitating explicit featurerecommendations on mobile devices [24].Given the prevalence of accessibility issues in mobile apps [14] and developers’ lack ofknowledge and awareness of accessibility, educating next-generation software designers anddevelopers about mobile accessibility is important.2.2 Accessibility Education in Higher EducationAccessibility education is an integral part of both Computer Science (CS) and non-CS educationin higher education
