Ethical concerns and market potentials provide compelling reasons for the inclusion of accessible design issues and principles in undergraduate engineering programs. Federal laws, rules and regulations mandating accessibility to products, services, jobs and public places for people with disabilities, however, are the most pressing reasons for including accessible design material in undergraduate engineering programs. These laws, rules, and regulations impact all engineering design disciplines and cover the design spectrum from the assembly and manufacturing of products to consumer use of products and services.
