Using examples from our analysis, we show and describe the steps taken toconstruct the model by jointly developing and combining three specific user-centered designtools (i.e., personas, scenarios, and landing zones) using an iterative, qualitative approach.Background and PurposeThere is a well-documented lag between the dissemination of educational research findings andthe application of evidence-based instructional strategies within STEM classrooms [NRC, 1,PCAST, 2, 3-5]. Moreover, STEM education scholars attest to a growing discontent within thefield related to the slow transfer of research-based innovations into education practice [6-9

Furthermore, Stephenset al. discussed a pilot program at Texas A&M University to provide information literacythrough embedded librarians into student teams where customized instruction was provided toupper division students [15]. Innovative approaches like these two examples are a good fit withthe practice of the librarian and the Integrated Engineering programs, but in the early years, thelibrarian just did not have enough time to think about changing from the traditional lecture tosomething different.Finally, while information literacy is an important element for a library liaison program, there isa direct correlation to student success in terms of

To best address these issues,engineering researchers, policy advocates, and industry leaders were convened to discuss thefuture of STEM and societies in the age of AI.

pinpoint areas for improvement and accordinglyadjust our teaching methods. We also recognize the value of providing continuous professionaldevelopment for instructors, enabling them to exchange co-teaching best practices and stayabreast of developments in their fields.A previously mentioned limitation was the inadequate allocation of class hours for the combinedcourses, where 9 hours per week proved insufficient. To address this, we're contemplatingincreasing class time to 11 hours per week, which we anticipate will allow for more student-centered approaches, such as student-led discussions, presentations, and research projects,thereby fostering active learning and critical thinking.These proposed changes are aimed at overcoming the challenges

hands-on skills involvingbuilding/programming of robots (61%). The intervention also helped engineering students gainengineering pedagogical skills which could help them engage in outreach in their futureprofessional roles or enhance their ability to mentor younger colleagues in future team projects.The students were also able to explore opportunities of collaborative design thinking withnon-engineers which could prepare them for human-centered design practices, such as socialrobotics where children participate in designing robots (Alves-Oliveira et al. 2021). The projectmay have helped the engineers learn to value contributions from non-technical stakeholders,demonstrating a model for removing barriers to interdisciplinarity in engineering
