qualitative interview datawith individual faculty, which constitutes a fruitful avenue for future research.Nevertheless, some generalizations can be made based on the data at hand. First, there is noevidence of stand-alone civil engineering courses being offered on accessibility. A scan ofuniversity-level information and communication technology programs similarly found anabsence of separate courses dedicated to accessibility, which the authors concluded indicated alack of faculty interest, student interest, or perceived need for expertise on the topic [11]. Giventhe amount of coursework required in typical civil engineering undergraduate programs, theabsence of individual courses is not surprising. Both students and faculty are often resistant
