studies widely. 3. Educational ContextWPI has long been a leader in project-based STEM education, since the establishment in theearly 1970s of an innovative curriculum that is today called The WPI Plan. Students at WPIenroll in four seven-week terms during each academic year. The Plan allows students openchoice in course work and requires them to complete three significant undergraduaterequirements: the Inquiry Seminar which is a humanities and arts course with a significantwriting requirement, typically completed in the second year, the Interactive Qualifying Project(IQP), which is the subject of our work here, typically completed in the third year, and the MajorQualifying Project (MQP) which is a project completed in the students’ major area

Minneapolis, MN. While working at ADC, Brian volunteered at the Science Museum of Minnesota and quickly discovered a passion for teaching and working with students - especially in an environment that fostered and supported the ”wow” factor associated with in- quiry and discovery. In 2007, Brian left the world of engineering to pursue a career in education. For the past 5 years, Brian has taught various levels of high school physics, mathematics, applied technology, and robotics. Brian joined Sparkfun Electronics to help integrate ”tinkering,” electronics, and computational thinking into the classroom. One of his goals is to help teachers to de-mystify how household consumer electronics work. With a few simple tools

].Additionally one way for students to become independent and highly competent at findinginformation using limited resources is by integration into the engineering curriculum[9].In collaboration with the course instructor this study was initiated with the goals ofunderstanding the (1) use of standards by students during the design process and (2) acquisitionand organization of standards and codes within corporate engineering firms. The end result beinga foundational guide for library instruction of engineering standards literacy.Student Standard UsePrior to their final year of coursework, engineering students have little to no knowledge ofengineering standards. The students typically have limited knowledge of standards acquiredthrough internships
