, which more nearly reflects the environment in which a professionalengineer will have to work; students must learn how to function as a team by planning theteam’s activities and the tasks associated with a project, all within the framework ofmilestones and the deliverables.As we have discussed in our earlier paper [1], one of the major assignments has been theresearch-based final report – a necessity in a course where the students come fromdifferent disciplines and represent different levels of experience within an engineeringprogram. While some, like Irish, might argue that such an assignment is an academicrather than an engineering genre, the final report is far more than just an exercise in“knowledge assembly” [17]. “Staged” assignments are

The idea was that an individual would create a training and assessmentpiece and then have their editing buddy provide feedback. The plan was designed to optimize ourprogress in moving forward.Before actually beginning to create training documents or tutorials we held several brainstormingsessions about different tools we could use. We realized early on that different competencieswould require different methods of training and assessment, and we explored many possibilities.Several team members looked into already created materials that are provided by librarywebsites, teaching librarians, or commercial

Evidence-based decision-making leads those working in every aspect of higher education today to seek out or deviseassessment tools and plans to observe efficacy and introduce well-considered evidence-basedchanges where room for improvement in outcomes seems indicated. The National Survey ofStudent Engagement, or NSSE, is a widely applied instrument in the U.S. and Canada. NSSEallows participating institutions to get a periodic high-level snapshot of how their incoming First-year and near-graduation (Senior) students compare to one another, and compare to those fromother similar institutions, in their self-perceptions of

They knew some students wouldbe familiar with public libraries and some could be familiar with the UBC Library systemif they had previously taken Humanities 101. The 2nd year coordinator’s initial passionand interest in making an accessible course helped to shape the approach the librarianstook with each subsequent class as the years passed.

to being comprehensive, the search must betransparent and reproducible; it is common to have the search strategy for a systematic reviewundergo peer review by another librarian before searching is carried out. This emphasis onquality search has led to the adoption of a variety of librarian roles in the execution of asystematic review. A 2018 scoping review ​[19]​ identified eighteen roles filled by librarians insystematic reviews. In addition to the expected roles of searching, source selection, andevaluation, the authors also documented librarians acting in planning, question formulation andpeer review roles. The roles described are not mutually exclusive; often a librarian will take onseveral of these roles as part of a given systematic

Determining a question focus that is the topic in which the student will write about whether this is self-chosen or pre-determined by the instructors. 2. Producing questions using a set of four rules that essentially allows the student to ask what is of particular interest to them about the question focus without limitation or judgement. 3. Identifying closed and open-ended questions, and how to use them appropriately. 4. Selection of priority questions. 5. Planning how to continue after the questions have been

This project was continued after Doreen’s retirement in 1987 with a single computerised index of all ICE publications, and the digitisation of all ICE journals the first engineering institution in the world to carry out such a project. When the ICE building was refurbished c.1990 he planned the Library accommodation. Early in his career at ICE Mike became
