our engineering curriculum[9], it is evident that team-based activities and prototyping geared toward solving these problemscan result in increased inclusion of students with disabilities. These solutions can have adramatic impact on the ability of people with disabilities to complete coursework and engage incourse-based ADL independently. Incorporation of guest lecturers including therapists,rehabilitation engineers, and people using assistive technology (known as “need-knowers”during the course) in conjunction with design thinking and rapid prototype fabrication led toremoval of two barriers to success identified by students with disabilities. The purpose of thispaper is to discuss results from two semesters of a new elective engineering

currently a popular approach for learning in many Science, Technology, Engineering andMath (STEM)-related fields. Its approach is distinct from traditional classroom learning, whereinstudents find themselves as passive recipients of information. Instead, PBL requires students toaddress a problem using information and knowledge they may or may not possess. The beliefbehind project-based learning is that students benefit more from the application of theirknowledge in a group setting than from a traditional classroom model, wherein a teacher presentsstudents with concepts and information and checks to ensure students understand [2]. A studywas done at a university in Malaysia to gage the “soft skills” of engineering undergraduates. Thestudy used
