Because the study of engineering is directlyinfluenced by industry standards, we look to Anderson et al’s 3 work on the information sourcesused by engineering professionals, specifically those in the aerospace industry, as an example ofthe professional behaviour that both undergirds the information seeking of engineering studentsand may serve as a model for students when they are on coop work-terms or complete theireducation and enter the work force.Information
