A broaderdefinition of Making, one that acknowledges that all communities and cultures have beenengaged in design and generative practices throughout history and circumstance, could lead tomore inclusive, welcoming, and interesting making experiences for all learners.The Making Connections project seeks to contribute to this conversation around making withinthe engineering education community by challenging common definitions and perceptions of“what counts” as making. As a partnership between a large Midwestern science and technologycenter and several local communities of color, Making Connections explores culturally-embedded making practices and provides a platform to potentially expand and revise what isconsidered making

However, if given a chance, librarians are wellequipped to assist students with their research for team projects. A writing assignment in anupper-level engineering core course is a good way for librarians to become immersed in a classand to build relationships with students on a one-to-one and team level.
