relevant to students’ topics in an engineering bibliographic database.Regarding the pedagogical materials, the librarians needed to update the teaching contents ofonly one workshop, simplifying their tasks.As seen in Figure 1 and as detailed previously, the training sessions have evolved significantlyover time. Even though the training sessions have been called workshops, laboratories orcourses, the terms "courses" or "training sessions" will be used from now on.Teaching Evaluation Surveys: Satisfaction RatesTo improve the courses and to assess the participants’ appreciation, students filled teachingevaluation surveys that contained two parts. An example of a full 2019 survey can be found inthe appendix. In the first part, students were presented

component of conducting undergraduate research [2], [3], since information finding,data collection, and scholarly communication are all key aspects of the research process.Providing information literacy instruction to undergraduate researchers is a natural extension ofthe work librarians are already doing within classroom settings in introducing students to theresources provided by libraries and teaching them how to access and use these informationsources. Research shows that library intervention with undergraduate research can improveretention [1], help students develop more profound research questions, and increase thecomplexity of their information searches [4]. For engineering students in particular, librarianintervention through IL instruction

Hill, Best, and Dalessio [7] conducted a literature review and foundno articles dealing with information literacy related to engineering technology at junior andcommunity colleges. They describe their own efforts to create an information literacy assessmentprogram for EET at Erie Community College.Erdmann and Harding [8], [9] have reported on a longstanding collaboration, the ‘Treasure Hunt’to teach information literacy concepts to MET students, which was extended by Sapp, Van Epps,Fosmire, and Harding [10]. Bhatt, Genis, and Roberts describe a library program for AppliedEngineering Technology students.[11] Some papers have discussed

would be “incredibly helpful”.AE scholars also use a wide variety of tools and platforms for sharing research data. Manyfaculty think of the published thesis or journal article as the public sharing of data. However,internally, data is shared through local tools like emails and shared laboratory disc drives. Datathat is not sensitive is shared through document sharing platforms like Microsoft OneDrive,Dropbox, and Google Drive. Services like QNAP's Network Attached Storage (NAS) are alsoused for backup, storage, and transferring large data. Although sharing data internally wasgenerally not considered a challenge by most respondents, getting large amounts of simulationdata from one place to another was a problem.
