This set hadthree major categories: 1) paper itself not about disability, disab* found within the biographicalnotes or the reference list; 2) disability in design projects; and 3) disability as major focus ofpaper. As the conference papers were reviewed using these categories, it became apparent thatfurther development was necessary; for example, a paper that included the phrase “disable thecar”10 in the body of its text was discovered by the keyword search, but did not fit into thecategories

One of the motivations for the new sequence was to address thephenomena of students succeeding in material and energy balances but not retaining the skillsor recognizing the significance of the principles in the context of other courses. The spiralsequence of courses also included projects that were designed to require synthesis of thesevarious topics.
