Currently, the mechanical engineering major requires introductorymechanical engineering topics (e.g., statics, mechanics of materials, dynamics) as well as upper-division thermoscience and mechanical design courses. Based on student and alumni surveys aswell as faculty feedback, the BSME is being redesigned to offer topic concentrations in order toprovide students with increased flexibility and choice within their major.The mechanical engineering department at this university administers undergraduate majors inthree areas – the BSME and two additional general engineering majors with an emphasis inbiomechanical (BS-Engineering, Biomechanical; referred to as BSBME or BME) and design(BS-Engineering, Design referred to as BS-Design).

This finding suggeststhat in presentation or panel settings where deaf viewers already redirect their gaze to various focalpoints, extra movement or changes detected in their peripheral view further compromises their attentionon the current discussion, compared with hearing viewers’ attention.Laboratory AccessibilityLaboratory environments can be very challenging because there are often obstacles blocking sightlines,reducing access to information. These obstacles should be removed or negotiated if possible. Anotherissue is that laboratory instructors often point to laboratory equipment and materials as they speak.However, due to the lag of interpretation or the split attention between the real

Additional strands of qualitative research whichfocus on cultural and interactional analysis have looked at higher education as a social system,looking at ways that the interactions and cultures of classrooms and institutions work (oftenunintentionally) to create problems for students (in K-12 science: Carlone10; in K-12 math:Esmonde11; Gresalfi et al.12; in undergraduate engineering: O’Connor et al.13; Tonso14,15).

This has several subtleimplications -- for example, more than half of all deaf students have no classmates with similarchallenges. Without appropriate support accommodations to facilitate inclusion by peers or toencourage interaction or group communication, they face participation barriers in informal socialand formal learning communities.Deaf and hard of hearing students will benefit from knowledgeable teachers who understand howto adapt materials that assume visual relationships by recasting the materials in neutral terms.However, deaf and hard of hearing students are likely

Additionally, thefocus on analytical areas and the exclusion of empathetic areas of focus is what partly definesengineering as a limiting culture.6,7 How do we begin to change the culture and perception ofengineering toward one that is inclusive and empathetic?Many researchers are studying what might influence a change to the multi-layered intersectionsof STEM careers, classrooms, content, and culture with complex constructs like
