However, one or two groupsmoved the desk lamp(s), so their data showed inconsistent performance.

InstructionMotivationUndergraduate engineering programs seek to train students in the process skills of engineering,which include designing hypotheses, identifying and synthesizing relevant literature, interpretingand analyzing data, and presenting findings [1]. While engineering educators routinely reportthat engineering process skills are critical, many report difficulty teaching students these skillsdue to time constraints [2]. Librarians, who specialize in the organization of information anddata, are well-equipped to help biomedical engineering (BME) educators address some of thesegaps in their students’ learning [3].

principles are used in design projects to cultivate an empatheticunderstanding of stakeholders’ needs. A common ethnographic research practice issemi-structured, direct-dialogue interviews between design team members and stakeholders ofthe project. Students who conduct interviews for design research projects are often “novices,”with little or no prior experience in ethnographic research. Interviewers who have been trained ininterviewing have been shown to produce more accurate and in depth information [1].

Another referred to international engineering projects and their results asrelated to the completeness of engineers’ skillsets (Trevelyan, 2019). The researcherargued that such projects rely on the proven engineering solutions, and usually failprimarily due to collaboration weakness. The latter supports the narrative of the criticalimportance of the “soft” skill component among engineers.

Students will need to understandthe contextual factors surrounding data sets, deal with incomplete information, and deal withproblems that have more than one right answer. They will need to understand how to chooseamong options for analytical techniques and appropriately apply them. It is also critical that theydevelop the skills needed to
