This engineering education research project focuses on the development of a program called AccessEngineering, modeled after existing programs Accesscomputing and AccessSTEM. This is a workforce development activity that utilizes communities of practice, webinars, mini-grants, Capacity Building Institutes and an on-line clearinghouse to broaden the participation of persons with disabilities in engineering education and careers. Recognizing that there is a need to both increase and diversify the engineering workforce, the overarching goal of this project is to increase the participation of persons with disabilities in engineering education and workforce. This is achieved through a nationwide engagement of faculty and students in efforts to make engineering content accessible to all students, including students with disabilities. The broader significance and importance of this project is that by educating faculty about the importance of accessible design, providing seed funding to enable incorporation of universal design principles in educational content, and creating a community of practice linked through Capacity Building Institutes, this project will address factors that directly inhibit the participation of students with disabilities in engineering education and the workforce. Engineering faculty will have access to a content rich website of research and practice in broadening participation that was developed as part of prior efforts. This project will enhance the content of this widely available website to include case studies from faculty using Universal Design in their course content development, proceedings from the Capacity Building Institutes, a collection of biographies of students with disabilities engaged in engineering and others artefacts from this project.This project overlaps with NSF's strategic goal of broadening participation in engineering by increasing access to engineering education for groups that are currently underrepresented in the engineering workforce.

该工程教育研究项目的重点是开发名为AccessEngineering的计划，该计划以现有程序访问计算和访问系统为基础。这是一项劳动力发展活动，利用实践社区，网络研讨会，迷你奖励，能力建设机构和在线交换所，以扩大残疾人在工程教育和职业中的参与。认识到该项目的总体目标是增加和多样化工程劳动力，是增加残疾人参与工程教育和劳动力。这是通过教师和学生在全国范围内的参与来实现的，以使包括残疾学生在内的所有学生都可以访问工程内容。该项目的更广泛的意义和重要性是，通过对教师进行有关可访问设计的重要性的教育，提供种子资金，使种子资金能够在教育内容中纳入通用设计原理，并通过能力建设机构建立一个实践社区，该项目将解决直接抑制学生在工程教育和工作中的学生参与的因素。工程教师将可以访问一个富含内容的研究和实践网站，以扩大作为先前努力的一部分而开发的参与。该项目将增强该广泛可用的网站的内容，包括教师的案例研究，其中包括通用设计的课程内容开发，能力建设机构的诉讼程序，一系列从事工程学的残疾学生的传记集和该项目的其他工厂。该项目与NSF与NSF进行工程专业的策略性进行工程的竞选活动，从而使工程进行工程的竞选活动，从而使工程进行工程范围内的工程范围。
