seeking behaviors of undergraduate engineering students, initiallyincluding information behaviors of undergraduate students in Science, Technology,Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields. Developing a search strategy was a complexprocess that required balancing the need to be as comprehensive as possible with limitingthe noise inherent in a search that includes such wide reaching terminology such as“education” “undergraduate engineering” and “information seeking”. Information wascollected on population, demographics, country of origin, sample size, engineeringdiscipline, communications, experiences, theories, models, and dates.SearchA comprehensive search strategy was built for each database by a practicing engineeringand instructional design
resources and services that theauthor hoped to introduce the first-year students to during orientation a few days before classesstart in the fall. The library features a second-floor quiet area with over 45,000 physical books,an online collection of close to 3,000 engineering journals, as well as a room with 3D scanners,virtual reality glass, and a Tool Library consisting of close to 225 tools ranging from hand toolsto measuring equipment to specialty technology kits. Students are able to check out these tools asneeded, with some of the most popular items being digital calipers, thermal camera, 3D scanners,pH sensors, multi-meter and 25-foot tape measure. A more detailed description of a tool librarycan also be found in Kozak's 2017 paper
