enhanceinstructional opportunities at the reference desk as they can provide direction for referencelibrarians working with students whose research topics may be outside that librarian's area(s) ofexpertise.Educators and librarians have advocated the incorporation of information literacy instruction intothe curriculum since the 1970's [5]. This type of instruction has become increasingly importantin recent years, particularly to engineers and other technical professionals. While it isimpractical to try to cover all of the ACRL information literacy standards in a research guide,they are well suited to address portions of Standard One (Know) and Standard Two (Access) [1,4]. These standards also fall in line with ABET's Criterion 3(i) in which it states that

These skills were originally introduced in capstone design courses.Some skills are now introduced in a sophomore level engineering design course and a freshmancourse. This paper introduces the issues and our approaches.1. IntroductionThe current generation of college students, who were born in 1990’s, grew up with personalcomputers, the Internet, and other digital “gadgets”. They use text messages, IM (instantmessage), e-mail, and cell phones to communicate with their peers every day. They also sharetheir lives by posting messages and uploading digital photos to social

completes a research paper on an aspect of the capstone project as a part of the CPMcourse. In CPM, project planning and execution principles are introduced that will be applied inthe spring semester when they complete their capstone projects.The capstone experience is designed to provide a forum to practice the art of engineering underconditions encountered in engineering practice. Students work in teams of three to five cadetsand they are in charge of the project. Course coordinator, faculty advisor, and sponsoringpersonnel serve as consultants to the team(s). Students are provided specific guidelines andproject management techniques to help them produce professional results in the format used inengineering practice. Each project needs to be

milliseconds would not polarize the sensor. After thesensor is charged, the A/D converter takes a reading and compares this value to a presetcutoff value. If the value the A/D converter takes is higher than this preset value, it willwait a set amount of time and then repeat this process. The total time it takes for thesensor to discharge and reach this value correlates to the soils moisture level. Soil withless water content takes a shorter amount of time to reach this preset cutoff value.

The overall result isan environment in which students have clear expectations and responsibilities, resulting in auniform level of comprehension as students move deeper into engineering mechanics topicswithin the three mechanics-based majors at USCGA. Faculty benefit from reduced individualadministrative burdens, and sharing knowledge from those who have taught the course before tonewly reported RMF’s and civilian faculty.References[1] Strong, S. and Moskal, B.

The process is becoming increasingly structured and the underlying selection matrix isbecoming more focused based on past experience.

amplify them. A weightedsummer circuit for the LM35 temperature sensor [8] was used as is shown in Figure 2. where theLM35’s output range is 20mV to 1500mV. With this design the group was able to manipulate theoutput to the proper 0V to 2.5V required by the microcontroller. In order to condition the outputsignal from the Figaro TGS6810 [11] gas sensor, an AD620 operational amplifier was used (seeFigure 2). This was necessary because each Figaro sensor has an offset that needs to be adjustedby means of a differential voltage. The AD620 is capable of amplifying the output of the gassensor to range from 0V to 2.5 Volts. Not all components in the system though are intended to aid in amplifying a signal. In thecase of the circuitry that
