Association of College and Research Libraries defines information literacy as: “…a set ofabilities requiring individuals to recognize when information is needed and have the ability tolocate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information."5Once students graduate and begin careers as engineers they should be information literate. Thisstudy shows that most engineers in design firms have limited access to information resources soteaching effective use of search engines like Google and how to know when assistance from alocal library might be appropriate could be essential parts of the engineering curriculum.

Enhancing Student Learning Outcomes: A Library and University Writing Program Partnership IntroductionIn 2005, librarians at the Marston Science Library (MSL) began offering one-time libraryinstruction for ENC 3246: Professional Communication for Engineers. ENC 3246 is a requiredcourse with approximately 25 traditional sections a semester and 2 large-enrollment onlinesections (see Appendix 1). All 5,800 undergraduate engineering students enroll at some pointduring their academic career. The principal goal of ENC 3246 is to prepare engineering majors tocommunicate effectively in their fields by emphasizing the literacy skills employed inprofessional decision-making.

’ preparation for working in an information economy. With most of theirresearch experience occurring in a humanities or social sciences context, engineering students donot always understand research as something that “engineers do.” Old attitudes die hard, and itis still a challenge to convince students that information skills are not only useful, but critical totheir success. Rodrigues states, “Engineering students, in preparation for efficiently managinginformation during their careers, should be departing the university for industry with more thanjust an accumulation of textbooks and course notes to take with them.”16 Bracke and Critzsupport this, saying, “Science and engineering students need to master complex subject-specificresources that often

Almost all of the faculty have included either libraryinstruction or one-on-one consultation with the librarian for the students in their classes,suggesting that they see the value of this process and support the information literacy goals of thelibrary and the university as a whole.In terms of the design classes, the senior year has been less structured, with librarian-studentinteraction left to the students
