did not know what to expect in terms of thisparticular project relating to education—however, I was open minded and prepared to engagemyself in whatever the project encompassed. The major reasons why I applied for this researchproject were because of my strong interest in interdisciplinary work, my desire to learn aboutnew things, and because I wanted to gain experience in more ‘hands-on’ research, in contrast tothe more theoretical and abstract type of work that I had done in the past.”Q2. Confidence in Success.A2. “When I first began this project, I was a bit nervous about mylack of knowledge in engineering preventing me from bringing anything valuable to the table.Not only was I ignorant in many engineering principles (such as Dynamics

In thefollowing section, we suggest the implications that our observations can have for supportingteachers as they teach engineering, identify how to promote expert behaviors, and fosterengineering habits of mind. We also believe that our data emphasizes the need for a deeperevaluation of student’s approaches to solving authentic and realistic engineering problems.

Indeed, poor conceptual understanding hasalso been observed in young engineers during their work in industry6,7. With this in mind,instruments which can effectively teach and evaluate engineering students’ conceptualunderstanding are key tools for modern engineering educators.In addition to the struggles of engineering students to achieve conceptual understanding, recentengineering graduates’ grasp of written communication and associated skills is often below thatexpected by their anticipated positions in the modern workplace8.

October 2014 a similar survey was sent to Engineering News Record's Top 500 Design Firms.The purpose of both surveys was to assess the prevalence of degreed librarians and the types ofresources available in engineering design firms. In the decade since 2004, when the articledescribing the survey results was published1, the U.S. experienced an economic crisis. With thisin mind, the author of the original survey wanted to repeat the study to learn what, if anythinghad changed at the engineering firms in the preceding decade. In October 2014 a survey wasmailed to 500 engineering design firms using the most recent version of the Engineering NewsRecord’s Top 500 Design Firm list.BackgroundAs in 2004, there is still no other detailed study of

Theproject was a second-stage of development for an idea originally developed for a Senior Capstoneproject. The research group for the capstone project consisted of four students of variousengineering concentrations, who ultimately presented their work at a regional conference6.With the above context in mind, the instructor set out to design a research experience that wouldbe challenging and rewarding for the student.
