The Educational Innovation Project of the ULL entitled «Design for All People in engineering teaching. Phase I: visualizing the functional diversity of people and their link with engineering studies is a first step in the incorporation of «Design for all (DfA) in the university engineering curriculum. The main prupose is to make visible the diversity in the field of engineering studies, thus promoting awareness and interest in this reality that can become the trigger in the students of innovative processes of conceptualization of their own learning and subsequent professional practice. This preliminary approach to the close link that exists between engineering studies and care for people with disabilities allows students to contribute to the socio-economic perspective of attention to diversity, as a means to social and labor integration of people. with functional diversity. Likewise, it is intended that future engineers explore the potential of this topic as a future professional specialization circumscribed to a growing market niche.
