About This Site

Web Accessibility

The College of Engineering supports efforts to make web-enabled information more accessible to those with visual or physical disabilities. Our site reflects this commitment. Our sites adhere to the campus Web accessibility standards. Our sites also meet the standards defined in Federal Rehabilitation Act 508 and at least meet the Level A standards established by the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative. Where possible, we have tried to meet the W3C Level AA and AAA standards.

Federal Rehabilitation Section 508

In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act to require Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. Inaccessible technology interferes with an individual's ability to obtain and use information quickly and easily. Section 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers in information technology, to make available new opportunities for people with disabilities, and to encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these goals. The law applies to all Federal agencies when they develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology. Under Section 508, agencies must give disabled employees and members of the public access to information that is comparable to the access available to others.

Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI)

The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) develops guidelines for accessibility of Web sites, browsers, and authoring tools, in order to make it easier for people with disabilities to use the Web. Given the Web's increasingly important role in society, access to the Web is vital for people with disabilities. Many of the accessibility solutions described in WAI materials also benefit Web users who do not have disabilities.
