broad perspectives and robustapproaches to anticipate the dynamic complexity of engineering design challenges of the 21stcentury. This deficiency is partly rooted in undefined or shifting boundaries around designpractices and educational responsibilities between engineering educational curriculum andindustry [1]. Many postsecondary engineering education programs do not offer four-yearsequential design courses and face challenges in developing pedagogies to assist students inlearning and establishing complex and meaningful design relationships [2], [3].Research suggests that these relationships entail expanding knowledge bases and triggeringfundamental paradigm shifts in current design methodologies [3], [4] - [9].

“Nothing About Us, Without Us:” Co-Designing an Accessible Engineering Education Tool with the Blind and Low Vision (BLV) CommunityAbstractThis paper is submitted under the “Intersection of Design and “X” Research Papers” category.Electronics-based education is essential to different fields of engineering education, includingelectrical, mechanical, and biomedical engineering, as it equips students with technical skill setsto design, build, and test functional hardware devices. However, electronics-based engineeringeducation remains largely inaccessible to learners who are blind or have low-vision (BLV), givenits reliance on primarily visual tasks – from spatially sketching electronic circuits to visuallyanalyzing digital simulation results
students’ reflections and the robots theydesigned, the authors conclude that most student projects only engaged with the novel’s themesin “superficial” ways that “lacked depth” [3]. For example, one project featured a roboticsnowplow inspired by the kinds of chores the creature performs for the De Lacy family [3].Further, in a survey given to students about their experience in the course, only 11% of studentsclaimed to have read the entire novel, and many commented that they found the novel neitherenjoyable nor relevant for their understanding of engineering [3]. In fact, several studentsregarded having to read Frankenstein as a distraction from other, more valuable forms oflearning likely connected to their technical design work [3]. This may be

In this regard thepaper is similar to a matryoshka doll where the core activity described in this paper is embeddedin larger curricular goals related to placing more emphasis on social justice in an engineeringdegree program. The use of system maps is described in relationship to these larger goals andstructures.Although the term ‘social justice’ was coined and used before the professionalization ofengineering in the United States, it has never been a priority for engineering education. Thebelief systems in engineering education as documented by policy reports [1], [2], [3] haveevolved from the Mann Report in 1918 [4] which
engagement in undergraduate research opportunities promotes improved criticalthinking and scientific reasoning, increased academic performance, enhanced retention bothwithin STEM majors and in college overall, and improved satisfaction with college. [1] However, there are several structural barriers to participation in research, including lackof information, time, and income. [2] Undergraduates may not participate due to lack ofawareness about opportunities, uncertainty about the recruitment process, uneven access tofaculty mentors, and personal responsibilities and living situations (e.g., living off campus).
