ABSTRACT
Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) are pervasive elements of
most modern technical software and represent a convenient
tool for student instruction. For example, GUIs are used for
[chemical] process design software (e.g., CHEMCAD, PRO/II
and ASPEN) typically encountered in the senior capstone course.
Drag and drop aspects of GUIs are challenging for students
with little or no visual acuity. We report on the use of several
innovations to circumvent such aspects of GUIs.
Keywords: Visual imparity, plant design,
