Laboratory CourseAbstractIn the fall of 2025, Mechanical Engineering and Library faculty at California State University,Maritime Academy will develop and pilot Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy learning outcomeswithin Mechanical Engineering and Physics courses. The university currently does not haveinstitution-wide AI literacy learning outcomes or systematic support for AI instruction. Inpreparation, the faculty will collaborate to create an AI literacy framework for courses in whichstudents carry out quantitative experimentation. Instructional and assessment materials designedto teach students about the uses, ethical implications, and limitations of AI throughout thetechnical paper writing process will be created. Students will practice and

While AI tools have the potential to enhance productivity and fostergreater collaborative inquiry dramatically, there remain overarching concerns about AI'simpact on information ethics

to real-world contexts[18]. In addition, Darr provides practical strategies for librarians to teach students how to useinformation ethically and avoid plagiarism. Drawing from real-life examples, digital resourcechallenges, and tested instructional materials, she emphasizes understanding authorship,publication, and research integrity through engaging lessons and exercises [19]. Interestingly, domestic students at both the undergraduate and graduate level reportedlower confidence levels and performed on average 6.3% higher than their agreement percentage.International students at both the undergraduate and graduate level reported higher confidencelevels and performed on average 11.6% lower than their agreement percentage, suggesting a

that three to twelve months after completing it,students stated the workshop improved their IL skills and usage of library services. As theycontinue to use these skills in their research activities, some could become habits and thusbenefit them in their future.Students in the focus group mentioned it made a real difference that the workshop was givenby librarians. Combined with the survey results, this shows that the librarians’ expertise madean important contribution to graduate students’ research habits, ethics, and critical reading.IntroductionPolytechnique Montréal, a francophone engineering university, offers over 120 programs invarious fields of engineering and applied sciences at different levels (certificate, bachelor’s,master’s and

study, so this paper focuses on the pilot study. Ethical approval was received fromthe University of Sheffield in February 2024, ethics approval number 050635.The study aims to recruit up to 20 female engineering undergraduates in total, including thosewho participated in the pilot study. The overall research design for the main study is the sameas for the pilot study, with minor amendments as listed in the discussion section of this paper.The pilot study design is detailed below.Participants were asked to keep a diary recording their information experiences over 2-4weeks, as they worked on university assignments. Following this, participants were invited tosemi-structured interviews, using the diary narratives as a starting point for

Engineering Writing Process: Foundational knowledge of AI, with an emphasis on ethical considerations and best practices when employing AI tools in research and writing.Collectively, these sections serve as a focused gateway to specialized resources, bridging existingOER materials and refining them for engineering education needs. As engineering educationcontinues to evolve, new categories will be introduced to broaden both the scope and depth ofthis open-access resource.Study MethodologyWe plan to evaluate the impact of e-REF on four sections of a first-year engineering course atNorth Carolina State University. Approximately 56 students enroll in each section, whichintegrates a semester-long team project culminating in a final presentation
