Support for Blind or Low-Vision (BLV) Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) LearnersAbstractThere is a growing, yet relatively limited body of research exploring the experiences of learnerswith disabilities in introductory electrical and computer engineering (ECE) education. With theproven importance of introductory ECE education in influencing students’ undergraduateinterests and future career prospects in technology, the inaccessibility of the field to learners withdisabilities poses an inequitable access barrier that further marginalizes these learners, oftenpreventing them from exploring the field in the first place. In particular, as ECE largely relies onvisual cues for designing, building, testing, and debugging

].Circuit Theory course is a required and basic course for many disciplines. In the day and age,vehicle technology is transformed into autonomous vehicle. This transformation became possiblebecause of the multi-disciplinary effort by Electrical, Mechanical and Computer Engineering andScience and it continues [2]. Therefore, the course is of great importance not only in Electricalengineering, but also in other engineering fields. The challenges faced by students aremultifarious; however, the non-Electrical engineering student face unique [3] ones because of theperspective and need of the respective departments. The challenges students face in the courseare mostly because of the nature of it. Even though it is an introductory engineering course

Much of the conceptual material sits squarelywithin the discipline of computer engineering, but recent trends in computer architecture [5][6]and limited exposure to the topic within both our engineering and computing curricula creates anopportunity to develop interdisciplinary competencies. Ideally, through formal teaching andlearning activities and associated peer interactions, students will be able to apply methods andapproaches from their peers’ discipline
