Using ABET Outcomes to Assess Information Literacy in Mechanical Engineering: Early Results and Applications for other Programs J.A. Rozzi-Ochs, C.J. Egelhoff, H.V. Jackson, S. Zelmanowitz United States Coast Guard Academy, New London, CTAbstract:Technological advancement has led to significant changes in how information is collected,synthesized and disseminated. It is essential that educators help undergraduate engineeringstudents develop and improve their informational literacy skills in the context of the current andemerging information infrastructure. Although information literacy is not specifically mentionedin the ABET outcomes, the development of these skills is essential to

biomechanics.Student Roles To ensure active participation and student preparation, each student was assigned a role.Students rotated among the roles approximately equally throughout the semester in a self-selected order. To promote effective preparation, an article had to be chosen each week andstudents needed to read the article prior to the in-class discussion. The Gatherer student chose the article and posted it to Moodle (course managementsoftware) by the established deadline of 3 days prior to the in-class discussion. S/he also postedan 8-12 sentence summary of the article prior to the in-class discussion. The choice of the articlewas left solely up to the student, so long as it came from a peer-reviewed journal and wasrelevant to biomechanics
