Equal Access: Universal Design of Engineering Labs A checklist to guide faculty & administrators in making their engineering department and labs more welcoming & accessible.

Planning, Policies, & Evaluation Consider diversity issues as you plan & evaluate your facilities & programs. __ Are people with disabilities, racial & ethnic minorities, men & women, young & old students included in planning & review processes & advisory committees? __ Do you have policies & procedures that ensure access to facilities, printed materials, computers, & electronic resources? __ Is accessibility considered in the IT procurement process? __ Are disability-related access issues addressed in external or internal evaluations of courses &services?

Facility & Environment Ensure physical access, comfort, & safety within an environment that is welcoming to visitors with a variety of abilities, racial & ethnic backgrounds, genders, & ages. __ Are all levels of departmental facilities connected via wheelchair- accessible routes of travel? Are accessible routes of travel easy to find? __ Are there ample high-contrast, large-print directional signs to & throughout departmental labs, administrative offices, classrooms, & other facilities? Is Braille signage available when appropriate? __ Are parts of counters & desks in student service areas at a height accessible from a seated position?

Support Services Make sure support staff are prepared to work with all students, faculty, & staff. __ Do staff members know how to respond to requests for disability-related accommodations? __ Are they familiar with the availability & use of Telecom Relay Services, assistive technology, & alternate formats? __ Are they aware of issues related to communicating with students of different races, ethnicities, & ages, & with disabilities?

Information Resources Ensure that departmental publications & websites welcome a diverse group & that information is accessible to everyone. __ Are accessibility issues incorporated into mainstream web design & other technology training for students & staff? __ In key publications, does the department include a statement about its commitment to universal access & procedures for requesting disability-related accommodations?

Engineering Courses & Faculty Ensure that faculty members deliver courses that are accessible to all students & that accommodations are provided in a timely manner. __ Do video presentations used in courses have captions? Audio descriptions? Do podcasts have transcripts? __ Do faculty employ accessible design practices for websites? __ Is universal & accessible design incorporated into curriculum?

Computers, Software, & Assistive Technology Make technology in engineering facilities accessible to everyone. Begin with a few items & add more later. For example: __ Is an adjustable-height table available for each type of workstation? __ Is screen enlargement software available for users with low vision? Is a large monitor available? __ Is text-to-speech software available?
