Much of thisinformation is not available from other sources.Although an increasing number of articles and books on academic engineering librarianship werepublished from the 1930s onward, few discussed the roles, qualifications, or work experiences ofengineering librarians. Few librarians from the period published biographies or articles abouttheir careers and work experiences. Modern librarians know much about historical engineeringinformation resources and how engineering libraries in the post-war period were organized,thanks to research published by librarians [4], student library handbooks [5, 6], and libraryannual reports [7]. However, we know very little about the

This theory is tested by regressing the journal impact metric against thebiomedical engineering research topics across thousands of recent academic journal articles inbiomedical engineering. The

students discussed challenges in theirprograms. Undergraduate prioritization of internships and securing employment post-graduationhas encouraged the library to collaborate more closely with campus Career Services to provideprogramming targeting resume builders and research practices outside the academy. Graduatestudents’ experience as teaching assistants was associated with a great deal of anxiety – both dueto lack of confidence with course content, as well as time management concerns. Instructors relyheavily on teaching assistant’s availability, and many teaching assistants are not discouragedfrom working more than their contracted hours. These reports indicate a substantial gap insupport for first year graduate students in SoE. We

Eachclass begins with a cursory explanation of this method before moving into a few short examplesthat the class moves through evaluating together. In all cases, the starting point is the IF I andthinking about biases. This class evaluation method uses three examples that are handpicked bythe instructor to share differences in “acceptable” and “further review needed” sources based ona topic. The terms “good” and “bad” are not used in this context. The reasoning behind this isthat one resource utilizes sound research but is not relevant to the topic

this work was done longitudinally across anundergraduate’s career as a student and has found that identity as an engineer is lowest as a first-year student. Capobianco et al. found that women who had a strong institutional identity andaffinity were more likely to persist in the field and see themselves as engineers [16, p. 111].These women also had a strong academic affinity that seemed to “surpass their genderedidentity” [16, p.112].MethodsThe research in this study is part of two larger studies into the success of First Year Experience(FYE) Courses.

current state of academia and focuses on actively citingauthors with historically marginalized identities in an effort to center and uplift their voices [13].Most if not all academic institutions favor those from non-marginalized backgrounds; generallyable-bodied white, cisgender, heterosexual men. This can be seen from degree recipients at alllevels [14] to faculty composition [15]. Those whose identities stray from that, especially thosewith an intersection of marginalized identities, have a more difficult time entering, building andmaintaining a career in academia [12]. Citation practices are a large contributing factor andundercitation of people with margenlized identities can be seen across disciplines [16]–[20].According to Zurn et al

As one business faculty said when asked about tests, papers, or otherprojects in their course, “No tests, but yes, definitely papers [but] not the traditional collegeessays.” They go on to say their students create materials for the course, ones that simulatematerials they might make in a future career such as persuasive memos, informative pamphlets,etc. Another business faculty member spoke about working
