In 2019, Accessible Design of Engineered Products and Technology (ADEPT) developed and hosted a series of webinars that engaged engineering faculty, students, and professionals nationwide in professional development activities to pique their interest in disability and accessibility and share best practices in incorporating these topics into engineering courses. We host these webinar recordings online so that others can continue to glean information on the topics presented. For a list of all webinars hosted by DO-IT, visit the DO-IT webinars website.
