Category 10 has the most relevanceto an ergonomics course, although as discussed earlier, some IE programs may combine topicsfrom Categories 10 and 11 in one course. There are 8-12 exam questions drawn from Category10 (7-11% of the FE Exam). The relationship between this list of topics and IE curricular contentwill be further discussed in the next section of this paper. 1. Mathematics: 6–9 questions 2.

However, there aremany controversies around the topics of research assessment’ need, its methodology, and ethics,and whether the bibliometric methods could indeed produce a valid measurement for researchevaluation. Since bibliometrics has been an important field of research in library and informationscience and part of libraries professional practice for a long time, it seemed a natural transitionfor libraries to start offering bibliometrics services.Bibliometrics services as part of research evaluation process are more common in libraries fromcountries with national research assessment frameworks that are mostly specific to Europe.

The process involves face-to-face meetings and discussions with entrepreneurs of thecity, from the presentation of the problem until the delivery of the plans. Once engineers are partof society it is important that they have a stronger interaction with the wider public. So the goal ofincluding this course in the program is to provide students the opportunity to work closely withthe real local entrepreneurship environment. Apart from this, engineers need to develop broadfundamental understanding of their professional responsibilities, as well as the need to beentrepreneurial in order to understand and contribute in the context of market and businesspressures.

We assume that most of the students have edited or labeled photos beforeentering college because of their use of social media, so they are familiar with those activities. Incomparison, at each university students reported they were not confident in legal restrictions onuses of visual media. A discussion of these restrictions and proper citations for images can easilybe included either in professional communication courses or in the wide range of ethics coursesthat are already embedded in engineering programs.DiscussionThese

One of the main reasons is that engineering curriculumis highly intensive in technical subjects which, in turn, leaves little room for auxiliarycourses on other topics of interest to engineers (i.e. project management, standards, ethics,etc.). Other reasons for the lack of curricula adoption
