The survey collected information on all aspects of campus life includingaccess to-, and satisfaction with-, disability resources. The results of the senior survey providedsimilar preliminary evidence for the need to better support students in engineering withdisabilities both disclosed and undisclosed. Among the respondents, 8% students reported adisability, among whom 27.8% replied that their disability needs were unmet. More than 56% ofthe students with disability did not register for support services. Surprisingly, for most of

professionals from the engineering andscientific community in the Denver area.As part of the College’s renewed focus on design and computing, the instructor altered thecourse significantly for the Fall 2018 – Spring 2019 academic year. Since the course is requiredfor all Mechanical, Civil, and Electrical Engineering majors early on in their academic program,redesigning this one course was hoped to be a leverage point to shift students’ perspectives. Theinstructor converted the Environmental Challenge into the Environmental Design Challenge,following the Stanford d.school model for the design process [5]. The students were given classtime to discuss and work through the design process (empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test).The instructor explained
