Some of these projects are based in one of the fields, while others cut acrossmore than one discipline. Managing such multidepartment STEM projects can beoverwhelming, complex, and challenging, necessitating effective organization andcollaboration between multiple teams and stakeholders [1]. Most such multidisciplinaryprojects are funded to drive cross-cutting knowledge acquisition and sharing, includingdeveloping tools that can be

complementary studies course. On average the class has 25 students.We start the class with a discussion of the short article What Art Unveils by Alva Noë whichusually allows us to find aspects we agree on so that we have a common understanding of art inthe course. ‘Artists make stuff’ – we were able to agree on that. Noë’s hypothesis is “that artistsmake stuff not because the stuff they make is special in itself, but because making stuff is specialfor us. Making activities — technology, for short — constitute us as a species. Artists make stuffbecause in doing so they reveal something deep and important about our nature, indeed, … aboutour biological nature [4].” He continues the article that ‘art makes things strange’: take a groupof engineering
students with motorimpairments may have difficulty using a keyboard or mouse to write code [10]. As a result, allthese students may require specific tools and resources tailored to the nuances of the field [10].Homing in on higher education computing curriculum, this research aligns with the growingemphasis on inclusive practices in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)fields [12]. Historically, STEM disciplines have grappled with, and are still grappling with,issues of diversity and inclusivity [12]. This literature review explores how accessibility isintegrated with STEM curricula, thereby contributing to the broader conversation on fosteringdiversity in education.Study OverviewGiven the continuously evolving landscape of
