The three projects may becompleted off-campus at global projects centers, which accounts for WPI being recognized in theU.S.A. for sending more engineering undergraduates abroad than any other school. Moststudents who choose to go away do so for the IQP project, and complete projects sponsoredmainly by governmental and non-governmental organizations, and advised by WPI faculty on-site at the project centers.WPI has a population of 4100 undergraduates, 32% of whom are female. Students come from 47states and 71 countries. Seventy-one percent of students major in a choice of more than tenengineering majors, including the U.S.A.’s first undergraduate major in robotics

Thisreport then concludes with possible recommendations for academic libraries, and researchuniversity campuses with an AE presence.BackgroundIn 2019, librarians at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) conducted interviewswith faculty in the institute’s School of Aerospace Engineering to examine practices of academicresearch faculty with regards to the data used and produced in the course of their research. Thiswork built on a project conducted in 2017-18, when librarians at Georgia Tech joined withlibrarians at 10 other research institutions, coordinated by Ithaka S+R, in order to examine thebroader research

, TechnologyEngineering and Math Education (C-STEM). One of the authors began teaching an “Introductionto 3D Printing & Design” class in the summer of 2016, and the C-STEM purchased threeFusion3 F-400S’s, an FDM machine, specifically for the class (see Figure 11). The C-STEM hasallowed the Library to keep one of the machines on loan. The F400-S was chosen because itallows the use of a wide range of printing materials such as PLA, ABS, ASA, PETG,Polycarbonate, PC-ABS, Flexible, Polyesters, Acrylic, Soluble, and more.43 Its build volume of14.0 in x 14.0 in x 12.60 in (355 x 355 x 320 mm) is also more than two times larger than theLulzbot TAZ 5 and five times larger than the FlashForge.

Respondent 3 indicated that weneeded to provide more opportunities to find teammates. While the contest was open to bothindividuals and teams, in a semester-long project which requires research, a well-organized teamhas an advantage over an individual. Moreover, learning to work effectively within a team onproject management is an important skill for engineering students to learn. Respondent 5 wantedmore

shows thatstudents prefer having workshops in the evenings as opposed to mornings. The preference forevening workshops is corroborated by Hoffman et al.’s study [7]. This could be due to the timingof survey collection; the 2017 survey was sent out in Mid-March, while the 2018 survey was sentout Mid-January. The differences in preference could be a result of students considering theirschedules for the spring semester in the 2018 data. This could also serve to explain the increasein preference for a one-hour workshop in the ‘amount of time’ data.Figure 3.

Critics view (Peterson 2006; Lee & Neal 2010;Weinberger 2005) folksonomies as unsophisticated, unsystematic, interpretive, and subjective,but those in favor of social tagging point out the value of collaborative indexing and groupintelligence (Avery 2010).
