session was that both she and her colleague have degrees inscience. Before choosing to enter the law field, she attained her graduate degrees in plantphysiology and plant molecular biology and her colleague earned his graduate degree andpostdoctoral work in chemistry. So the scientists and engineers who attended the session feltcomfortable asking technical questions. The sessions were well attended, including all of thesenior engineering students, who work on capstone projects that can potentially be patented.At this time, the university has had more than 20 patents filed over the past seven years of itsexistence, the overwhelming majority of which faculty are the inventors. Therefore this talkwas definitely needed to inform and educate the NYUAD

Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Lab-Integrated Librarians: Engagement with Unreachable ResearchersAbstractSubject liaison librarians are working at the crossroads of the practical and emerging needs ofresearchers, seeking to connect with them throughout the research life-cycle rather than at thebeginning when literature reviews are conducted or at the end when a scholarly publicationemerges. In STEM disciplines, where research is oftentimes conducted in secure lab facilities,engagement is particularly challenging. In 2016, librarians at North Carolina State Universityembarked on a project to overcome this difficulty by joining selected research groups andattending regular lab meetings. This paper’s findings will suggest that lab

the people who were involvedwith ELD during the last fifty years are still alive and active members, none were formallyinterviewed due to time and resource constraints. An oral history project would be a valuableaddition to the history of ELD. This paper does not presume to be a comprehensive history ofengineering libraries and librarianship, engineering information, or education although it toucheson these subjects in the context of the history of ELD.ASEE goes to Washington: 1960-65The early 1960s was a time of transition for ASEE. Since its founding in 1893, ASEE had beenadministered by member volunteers with substantial support from engineering colleges. Forexample, the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois provided office

getting an assignment in a core course at the sophomore level and juniorlevel and senior level, and usually at the senior capstone course.[I4]” Build up IL skills gradually from more generic skills to more discipline-specific bysenior yearFuture StepsSome of the results from the five interviews are informing the creation of information literacymodules for freshman engineers and students in a senior engineering design class. These moduleswill incorporate advice from the interviews of teaching ILI throughout students’ careers, as bothfreshmen and seniors will be the audience of the video modules. Also, the videos build on the ideaof having a strong relationship with faculty as two engineering faculty members created the videosfor the freshman
