Now, I am in the position ofdefining the ‘bugs’ in the system that make it work poorly, not just for blind people,but for everyone. 4Even before the pandemic, there was increasing opportunity for virtual work as companiesexpand and diversify their work forces [1].

According to current research in engineering education, studies show how narrowconceptualizations of the engineering “pipeline” overgeneralize the experiences ofwomen into a single shared experience, ignoring the intersectionality of today’sfemale students [1].2.
