Engineering design is fundamental to the engineering curriculum, so there is a need to ensure that the design curriculum -- especially the design classroom or lab --tries to address these issues to be more inclusive to all. The aim of introducing UD in classrooms (eg. in a design project form) is to build awareness and skills related to universal design and to improve inclusiveness and accessibility of the engineering design curriculum through resulting development of UD-ed ideas and products. | Engineering design is fundamental to the engineering curriculum, so there is a need to ensure that the design curriculum -- especially the design classroom or lab --tries to address these issues to be more inclusive to all.
