Wehighlighted unexpected findings and the absence of things we had expected to hear from ourinterviewees. We noted points of overlap among themes as well as points that were commonlymentioned among our interviewees. Based on these discussions and our focused coding, wedeveloped the following report of our findings.3. FindingsThe results of this qualitative research show four major themes regarding research practices andservices needs from Civil and Environmental Engineering researchers during their research lifecycle. The four themes are

We are not only excited to turn Hack Dibner into an annual event at our institution, buthope that other engineering libraries will also be inspired to run their own versions of Hack[Your Library]. With that in mind, we have created a Starter Kit of materials, includingtimelines, templates, and rubrics as well as a website https://wp.nyu.edu/hackyourlibrary/ (underdevelopment spring 2019).Starter Kit In this section we outline materials that could be used by other libraries to run their ownHack [Your Library] contest

Concerns about the quality of STEM educationhave been fueled by high levels of attrition in STEM majors, particularly among women andstudents from underrepresented minority groups, as well as the need for a more scientificallyliterate citizenry.

The students recalled another engineering faculty member’s visit toclass and her suggestion to prototype using low cost materials (“get a cardboard box and putsome remote cars in there and see if people use it”) rather than giving the students a big budgetto start. They came back to this idea a few times; they want to fail and try again, but they alsowant a variety of projects.How do you describe the engineering design process?As faculty, we were mindful that the course was about engineering design and not tinkering or“making.” Although the students’ desire to “make” helped them engage in the course and the

, assessment methods related to these outcomes that rely onLikert-type responses or structured assignments may be susceptible to social desirability orpositive response bias. When prompted, students will normally agree that ethics are importantand can select the correct answer for simple ESI questions. But what do engineering andcomputing students quickly draw to mind in relation to ESI? To explore this, students were askedto respond to two open-ended survey questions: (1) How do you view your role in society as anengineer or computer scientist? (2) List the ethical issues that you think are relevant to engineersand/or computer scientists. It was of interest to determine if student responses would vary fromthe beginning to the end of a term or across

To meet the problems of tomorrow, civil engineers need to be creative, be able to think critically and have analytical thinking skills. …the ability to create/innovate -- to try to do what has not been done -- is at the heart of engineering, whether one is involved in practice or academia. From Day 1 of their formal education, the CE student should see the value of and learn how to have to develop a problem- solving and creative/innovation mind set. Consider a creativity/innovation outcome and/or a creativity/innovation thread throughout the rubric.
