Ishare the example of how a fitness tracker, designed to track a wearers blood pressure, failedbecause the company who created it neglected to test it on people of color [14].In my review of research, I found a fair amount of literature in the library profession related tostructural oppression[15], critical information theory[16], cultural capital and culturalcompetency[17][18], as well as articles on integrating diversity, equity and inclusion ideals intoour libraries[19][20]. The profession collectively is working on examining, understanding, andimplementing new approaches to address inequities.

softwaresystems that produce fair outcomes for individuals in society.Harms of Algorithm BiasThere are many reasons why an algorithm may be considered “biased.” Incomplete or faultydata is one reason. In other instances, it may be the choice of data that is being selected fordecision making. As an example of the latter, in a 2019 paper [4] in Science, “Dissecting racialbias in an algorithm used to manage the health of populations,” authors Obermeyer et al. foundevidence that a widely used commercial prediction algorithm for determining health risk wasconsistently scoring black patients as being lower risk for health issues than white patients, eventhough, in their study, the black patients had significant health risks that were being missed bythe

. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Forming Key Partnerships to Enhance Graduate Student ProgrammingAuthors: Emily K Hart, Alexander V Struck Jannini, Alexander J Johnson, Katy PieriAbstractThe graduate chapter of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE@SU) and theSTEM Librarian at Syracuse University formed a collaborative and mutually beneficialpartnership with the goal of enhancing non-curricular educational opportunities for graduatestudents in the College of Engineering and Computer Science (ECS). By combining the expertiseof both organizations, including strategies for event planning, marketing, and outreach, as well asdata garnered through event feedback surveys, significant strides were made toward

increased visibility for the Libraryresources and services. It also discusses the positive impact on the students’ research skills andon their literature reviews. Consequently, the training sessions contribute to achieving theUniversity learning objectives for graduate students in research programs.IntroductionIntroductionFounded in Montreal in 1873, Polytechnique Montréal is a francophone engineering universityoffering more than 120 academic programs. In Fall 2019, the institution had 9,000 studentsenrolled, with more than 2,200 in a graduate program [1]. Polytechnique Montréal stronglyencourages diversity among its student population, so as of Fall 2019, 28% of its students werewomen and 29% were international students. Moreover, international

), creates adisconnect between students and the desire of librarians or faculty to teach traditionalresearch and information seeking skills.A scoping review was conducted using the Arksey and O’Malley modified framework.Six databases focusing on information, education, and engineering research weresearched (LISA, ERIC full-text, ASEE, ScienceDirect, EducationSource, and Scopus).Papers were included if they addressed engineering student information seekingbehaviors or needs. Studies that focused on social science or humanities students wereexcluded. The data were examined to find methodological trends, research areas, gaps inknowledge, and key findings. This review included 44 articles in the final review.Analysis grouped research into four emerging

/faculty in the use of our physicaland virtual library spaces, getting out on campus in as many ways as possible is the key toincreasing the library’s visibility and usefulness to all students and faculty. This will, in turn,create more opportunities for the NJIT community to know where to go for their informationliteracy needs. Although there were mixed results in our initial pop-up library program, it mayprove worthwhile to continue to experiment with this method next semester.References[1] ABET Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs, 2018-2019 [Online] https://www.abet.org/accreditation/accreditation-criteria/criteria-for-accrediting-engineerin g-programs-2018-2019/ [Accessed November 29, 2018].[2] B.P.

Social Thought and a bachelor’s degree in anthropology from Dickinson College.Dr. Matthew Frenkel, New York University Matthew Frenkel is the engineering librarian at NYU’s Bern Dibner Library, and an adjunct faculty in Mechanical Engineering at NYU Tandon. He is a member of the ASEE Engineering librarian division (ELD). Matthew’s background is in the experimental study of optical whispering gallery sensors, but his current research interests are in how undergraduate and graduate engineering students develop their professional skills.Mr. Mikolaj Wilk, New York University Engineering Reference Associate at Bern Dibner Library c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019

those permanently residing in the United Statesfor whom English is a second language. Being deferential to authority figures or not beingconfident in their verbal communication skills may cause ESL and international students eithernot to interact with a librarian or to accept the resources the librarian provided even if it was notexactly what they wanted. In-service training from the university diversity office or similarcampus resource could be useful.Lately there have been increased efforts by universities as well as organizations such as theAmerican Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) and Society of Women Engineers (SWE)to encourage women to enter the STEM disciplines and to retain women who are undertakingthose majors.
