These pioneers pave the way for future generations, and this work aims toenvision a future when GenAI becomes integral in fostering inclusion within computing andSTEM disciplines. Villanueva and Di Stefano’s recent narrative inquiry underscores the criticalneed for tailored instructional strategies that consider the unique needs of blind students inSTEM [2]. Similarly, Stefik et al.’s research demonstrates how accessible tools, like theSodbeans programming environment, enhance confidence and skills among blind programmingstudents, revealing the impact of well-designed, inclusive technologies[3]. This paper builds onsuch foundational work by examining how GenAI tools shape the academic journeys of

It should also cover binary signed integers using sign magnitude, 1’s complement, and 2’s complement formats.3. Design an operational amplifier adder which will produce a non-inverted sum of two voltage inputs. Your design should have at least two stages, and should amplify the sum by a gain factor between 500 and 800 at DC. Use resistors on the order of 1k to 100k ohms in your design.4.
