Unfortunately, faculty receive these accommodation requests and assume that is theonly​ form of impairment and accessibility issue that needs to be accommodated. Precise researchin this field is difficult because we are attempting to quantify and circumscribe the effects onlearning and career outcomes from non-disclosed impairments within the universityenvironment. However, it is possible to quantify the prevalence of disabilities and impairmentsin the U.S. population and consider the fraction of students who request personalaccommodations. The prevalence of significant hearing impairment at speech frequencies in theU.S. for adults aged 20-29 is 2.2% ​[11]​. In a recent

Their experience isdiscontinuous, whereas faculty teach the same course many times in a career. One reason themajority of students do not agree with faculty on this statement could be because the changesthat do happen to the preparation material get smaller and smaller each year. Another facultymember noted “…Now that I’ve been teaching for a long time, course evaluations allow me tofiddle with the knob ever so slightly.” Everyone notices when

Finally, below are some of the students comments inregards to this course:“The instructor is teaching a very intensive and difficult topic and did a good job of getting theinformation across in the time frame provided. He expects a lot out of his students, and for thisreason, I feel like I have benefited greatly by trying my best to keep up with his expectations. Ifeel like I have gotten more out of his class than I have from any other professor.”“The robots may still have some bugs to work out.

Capstone courses provide ultimateacademic experience to students at the exit of their academic career. Capstone courses build upon the learning outcomes from majority of the courses they take as undergraduate level.According to Tomorrow’s Professor Postings on Teaching and Learning (Stanford University)[1], "Introducing [undergraduate] students to content that could make a contribution to their fieldhas potential benefits to the students, faculty, institution, and discipline.

product is essential for producing a successful design. The best way to appreciate that fact at an early stage in your career is to manufacture a design yourself. The lessons to be learned are universal. Don’t expect your design to work on the first try. Leave a lot of time for testing. Complicated designs take a lot longer to build and have a lower probability of success.
