profession [16]. Rather than being primarily seen as somethingthat someone is (as is the case for most social identities), this definition sees engineering assomething that someone does [16], [17]. Thus, many studies show that undergraduateengineering students associate engineering with specific cognitive, affective, and performancevariables [16]. For example, research has found that professional identity was closely connectedto competence in technology adoption, scientific thinking, and professional knowledge, and thatstudents see engineering as a way of thinking about and using math, science, communication,and problem-solving [18], [19]. In this conception of engineering identity, competence stands outas a significant factor—it acts as a bridging
recently, data visualization. Thewise librarian understands that the moniker of “subject expert” is not a destination, but an epicjourney that uncovers new challenges and further learning at each turn along the road. Neither isthe journey a solo venture; instead, the most satisfying aspect of the trek is often found in theinteresting, creative, inventive people that the engineering librarian has the opportunity to workwith and serve. In the end, the librarian who chooses to take the plunge into the unfamiliar andperhaps scary waters of engineering librarianship finds a sense of gratitude for making the bestcareer decision possible.References[1] N.

Engineers has established a list of Grand Challenges forengineers which include several topics that will require novel designs based on chemicalengineering expertise, such as engineering better medicines, providing access to clean water,providing energy from fusion, managing the nitrogen cycle, preventing nuclear terror, anddeveloping carbon sequestration technologies [1]. These grand challenges present the opportunityfor chemical engineers to show their curiosity and creativity in determining new processes anddesign solutions. The need for these innovative, entrepreneurial engineers is obvious, and theuniversities are recognizing the need to incorporate these skills into their curriculum [2] [3] [4, 5]. Villanova University has recognized

successfully proves theconcept of harnessing energy from the vertical motion of an elevator, for it to be a commerciallyprofitable product, it needs more work. We hope that the result from this educational modelproposed in this paper would serve as a milestone, and help future innovators to use this conceptand technology to produce a profitable “real-world” elevator to generate energy. The skillslearned from this project were invaluable, as research, design, trial and error, as well as technicalwriting are all important experiences within engineering and physics. 9AcknowledgementThe authors would like to express their sincere thanks to Dr. Donald
