Participant responses highlight five reasons technicalstandards education is important: safety/best practice, practical application, expectations of theprofession, employment and business, and foundation/career development.IntroductionThe development, use, and education of technical standards have blossomed in the past fewdecades. While these documents bring great order and structure to the engineering field andbeyond, major challenges persist for users, educators, and students.In general, technical standards are agreed-upon procedures, tests, and protocols established in awritten format through consensus among a group of interested and expert

For example, while 69% of faculty in their studyindicated that library databases were important or very important, there was no correspondingassessment of these faculty members' actual use of library databases.A multi-institution interview study organized by Ithaka S+R of civil and environmentalengineering faculty found that researchers preferred to use Google and Google Scholar for arange of information needs including finding datasets, gray literature, and scholarly articles(Cooper et al., 2019). Similarly, in an interview-based study with early career life sciences andengineering faculty at a single institution, researchers found that faculty in their study

county in the state) to assemble novel programming to inspire students to pursue careers that impact the state workforce development needs. The library will play a central role in hosting on-campus activities for visiting students. Expand high school dual enrollment opportunities – The current model for dual enrollment has a high cost (time and faculty and resources) and a low return (enrollment) at a limited number of schools. We explored a possible new online model. For example, we could partner with a select group of 25 to 50 high schools in the state and utilize lessons from COVID (including partners with higher numbers of underrepresented student groups), with specific aims to ease transitions for skills like math

Studentswho used ChatGPT were invited to share up to four of their interactions with ChatGPT. Wecollected 49 unique ChatGPT interactions, which were organized into three categories:career/professional, class/research, and personal interest (Figure 2). Career/professional entailedquestions where students asked ChatGPT potential interview preparation questions and hadChatGPT

usingtrial and error to fine tune their IM selections over time (Go It Alone). We also found complexPower dynamics were involved. Instructors often teach more than one course over an academicyear or a career, and thus we expected to see multiple strategies mentioned. As noted earlier,there is expected overlap between responses and instructors in the Power and the Peers andColleagues themes. However, we did not see overlap between instructors with responses in thePower or the Go It Alone themes. Perhaps those who employ a Go It Alone strategy for their IMselection also opt to teach courses without a strong Power dynamic at play. Also, one instructor'sresponses are in both the Go It Alone and the Peers and Colleagues themes, as they use a mix ofself

The authors did not limit the documents by type other than the limitation ofscholarly works, so there are journal articles, book chapters, and dissertations included in thecorpus. Additionally, this analysis uses research on students in different stages of theireducational careers, with an eye towards understanding challenges faced by historicallymarginalized people within the STEM community. An initial summary of the corpus reveals thatthe authors analyzed 88 documents with 1,123,499 total words [5]. This analysis also shows thatthe most frequent words present throughout the entire corpus are STEM, students, science,women, and

This difference between students who are earlier in theireducational career and those who are more experienced is echoed in a study showingundergraduate engineering students exhibit a change in the use of information over time, usingsources such as technical reports and journal articles more as progress from their second tofourth year of study [25].Research QuestionsThis study explored two research questions: RQ1.

Other questions began to arise, such as “As a newdoctoral student, what part of the research process could they possibly be attempting?” Quickly, 10it became clear that the new students did not know what the research process was, much lesswhere it should be going. Many funded doctoral students are thrust into an ongoing research project early on intheir academic career without being informed on the entire process. They are placed in a verysmall section of the

. • Professional Recognition and Career Advancement: Although some responding OER authors reported facing challenges in gaining recognition, others found that their work contributes positively to their professional portfolio, including tenure and promotion processes, demonstrating their commitment to student success and educational innovation. More on this topic is also discussed in the professional impact section of the results. • Contributing to the Advancement of Knowledge and Practices: Some authors were driven by advancing knowledge in their fields, sharing innovative practices, and providing up- to-date and relevant resources. This includes integrating new technologies and approaches in their OER
