education limiting their motivation andsuccess in math and statistics. Mathematics and Statistics serve as foundation for all programs inScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM); therefore, lower success inmathematics can also affect their decisions to follow a STEM career [12], but also underminetheir success in engineering courses [13], [14]. The issue of anxiety and lack of confidence intheir abilities can be worse for female students who are often raised under the stereotypic viewthat females are not good at math [15].Enhancing math problems with RL examples can provide deeper understanding of math conceptsand skills [5], [3]. It can also motivate students to learn more about how math can be used in reallife, experiencing a

communications is a fundamental skill for most engineers.Typical engineering documents are visual, however simply seeing the document is not enough tobe able to interpret, reason, and communicate with it. The engineer must be able to internalizethe information into a mental map of some sort and appropriately interpret the features.This case study examines how a blind mechanical engineering student was taught and learnedbasic concepts of engineering graphical representation. Assistive technologies replaced theubiquitous computer and paper visual interfaces. The course was intended to enable the studentto develop basic mental imagery capability in engineering graphics.
