technologies in Undergraduate EducationThe use of Web 2.0 technologies such as wikis and blogs in undergraduate education hascoincided with the emergence of the social networking phenomena and the near ubiquitouspresence of mobile computing platforms on smart phones and tablets [3]. Over the past five yearsseveral studies have been published examining the emergent use of Web 2.0 technologies in theclassroom environment. Some of the earliest publications reviewed Chao’s Student ProjectCollaboration using Wikis (2007), Wiki as a Teaching Tool (2007) and Heys’ Group Projects inChemical Engineering Using a Wiki (2008) featured case studies of wiki usage in undergraduatecomputer science and chemical engineering courses. These case studies were notable

Theses supervised byChemical Engineering faculty had slightly more journal citations than the overall total, whilethose supervised by faculty from Civil Engineering and Mining had substantially fewer. Thetheses supervised by Mining faculty also cited substantially more conference papers andtechnical reports. Approximately 20 percent of the citations in the Civil Engineering thesis werewebsites.Less than one percent of all citations were patent documents, which is surprising given thevolume of published patent applications related to fuel cell technology.

The third session covering Intellectual Propertywas developed into an eCampus (Blackboard) online module.Developing the CurriculumAccording to the fall 2012 syllabus in eCampus, the goal of ENGR 101 is to teach students “tothink like an engineer” and to “provide a solid foundation in fundamental skills needed forbeginning engineering students to succeed academically and professionally prepare forchallenges in a technologically changing world.”Engineering students need to be provided with relevant information; and classes and assignmentsmust be viewed as a means to a goal. In fact Hsieh and Knight 2 showed that Problem BasedLearning “(PBL) has proved to

The program wouldprovide reference services to engineering students and faculty, in their spaces and at point ofneed. The engineering students' mix of technological savvy and confidence in their ownproblem-solving skills, coupled with their distance from the main campus and its central library, Page 23.1390.2makes them more reluctant
