<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#002060">We have a similar situation here – completely blind student wanting/demanding to take engineering courses and of course the 3D CAD course is in his plan. We’ve
exhausted our ideas of accommodations as well. Even the Dean of the program has tried to be accommodating and trying “think outside the box but there is only so much he can do.” So I’m following this thread in hopes that clearer answers/suggestions come up.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Hello all, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Are there technical standard requirements for engineering courses? For example, a completely blind student takes a 3D CAD course requiring the use of software that requires visual manipulation and creation
of on-screen 3D models, accommodations have been exhausted. Should there be technical requirements to let these students know beforehand what types of vision or physical skills are required to complete a course? I see UNC has technical standard for medical/clinical
programs that address this. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
