It is designed to take a maximum of two ninety-minute lectures.In addition to engaging students in STEM, the activities also bring awareness to potential socio-economic differences and public policy. This is a work-in-progress and the research teamhypothesizes that there is also the potential for an understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion.The activities are presented to first-year courses but are also part of upper level courses. It ishypothesized that by repeating the activities, students will gain a deeper understanding of diversity,equity and inclusion.Literature

HS-STEM hasrequested and acquired new positions such as the Biomedical Engineering librarian, the Councilof Library and Information Resources (CLIR) Fellow, and the new management position ofAssociate Director, Engineering Librarian.

This transformation facilitated innovative, team-basedcollaborations at HS-STEM for Collections, Grant Funding, Research Impact, and Informatics,serving our HS-STEM clientele.The process began with a series of questions about how to organize the library structure andservices to increase their relevancy and how to engage with the user communities to

the highereducation system aspire to send their children to the best universities so they can get aneducation that, hopefully, will turn out to be a pathway to a successful and financially secure life.And this is where the dilemma begins. Most of the nation’s top universities who compete forundergraduate students tend to build their reputation (and prestige) reflected through rankingsand tables predominantly on national and international research performance, which means, inessence, external funding level, research quality of the faculty, scholarly journal publications,and Ph.D. graduation rate4. The rankings on undergraduate programs, on the other hand, arenormally not based on any quantitative information. For example, US News

They expressed their frustrations with finding specific lessons buriedamongst thousands of pages across nearly two-dozen PDFs with no indices or tables of contents.This required the students to open each PDF in order and scroll through every page until finallyidentifying the desired lesson. This was an extremely time-consuming process for the studentsespecially those without high-speed internet access at home.Rather than immediately seeking a solution, the team was instructed to first conductbenchmarking research of best practices in
