Library instruction sessions began as simple introductions to the library resourcesand initially were presentation-oriented. As the ES 1000 class developed and the researchquestions and projects became more involved, we began to develop more “hands-on” classsessions. The library classroom also had technology upgrades, making it easier to conduct thesesessions. For the past two years we (the engineering librarian and the instruction coordinator)have worked together to create more meaningful library exercises and

This aspect may leadto the notion that engineers should be aware of the responsibility to society as they contribute toits development. It is to be aware of the impacts not only environmental but also social of theoutcomes of projects. Looking closer to the formation of engineers, there is still a prevalence ofgood technical formation without thinking of a broader knowledge achievement. This broaderachievement is not a recent idea; the French School of Engineering implemented under Napoleongovernance formed the “Mr. Engineer” that
