process in the undergraduate degrees of computer engineering and architecture. A total sample of 159 academic guides from both degrees werea nalysed. The main results of the study show that less than half of the universities teach universal design and there are 59 degrees in which universal design is taught, albeit with significant differences between architecture and computer engineering. Finally, the authors discuss the need to comply with
university legislation on including design-related content for everyone |
