Mohammed from the Universityof Science and Technology indicated that disabled students are not aware of the availableengineering programs. According to him, disabled students believe that engineering programsare not available to disabled students and are reserved exclusively for normal students.Mohannad seems to agree with what the study shows. He indicated that almost all engineeringprograms require all types of physical activities (hands and legs) and this is the main reasonbehind the fact that a very limited number of disabled students join engineering programs.
