Honors Thesis

Title: Enhancing Accessibility in Electrical Engineering Education for Blind and Low-Vision Learners
This ongoing research explores both the technical and emotional aspects of accessibility tools in education. In addition to improving the functionality of tools for blind and low-vision learners, the work focuses on measuring key emotional factors such as belonging, self-efficacy, and confidence. These factors are essential for ensuring that students not only have access to the material but feel fully included and capable in their educational journey.
