[nabs-l] new to list: some questions about computer science/engineering

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hello Annis,

Welcome to the NABS email list. I honestly have no idea how to answer any of the specific questions you asked in your email. However, you may wish to check out the science and engineering email list in addition to the NABS student email list.

The information page for the science and engineering email lists says that the purpose of this list is to promote education solutions for the blind, share professional successes, and encourage new solutions and techniques to succeed in science and engineering as a blind person.

You can find the science and engineering email list at www.nfbnet.org after clicking on the link that says drop or join email lists. Although I am sure there are other students here who can answer your questions, you may receive more answers by posting your questions to the science and engineering  email list as well.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

Hello,

I've actually  been  part of this list before, but it was a while ago, maybe seven years, so I'm gack in school and have some more questions.  I'm basically totally blind and going for my Master's in Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering and I'm taking many statistics computer science courses so have specific questions about them:

*Do you all know if SAS statistics  software is accessible with a screen reader, or do you  all know of an accessible alternative, such as AR (I've heard is accessible but not sure)?

*Has anyone worked with a screen reader and Android Studio or Eclipse to make Android apps?  Or, basically, I'm looking for any Android accessibility tips.

*Also, any accessibility tips  for Raspberry Pi or Internet of Things type access    is what I'm seeking.

*Lastly, any mysql or sql advice?  I'm still in the process of downloading correct software, the workbench along with the main mysql installer program. Have any of you used with screen reader?
Basically, I'm wishing to talk with any blind visually impaired who are in this field.  Have you found any of  the curriculum  specifically challenging accessiblitywise? I try to prepare in advance before class, but I've always found this difficult since each instructor is different and it's hard to know what he/she will use in class, which software/hardware, how he/she will prepare quizzes/tests, etc.
You can reply  to me either  through the listserv or privately at annis1 at live.marshall.edu<mailto:annis1 at live.marshall.edu>
Thanks for  all your help
