assignment involvesinitially summarizing a pre-determined research article on an engineering innovation, thenconducting further research into the topic to expand their knowledge of it and its implications forfuture research. We noticed that most students could summarize the initial reading, but haddifficulty articulating questions for future study. We reasoned that if students could sharpentheir ability to identify and ask questions succinctly, it would likely improve their research.Therefore, in the Spring 2019 semester, the instructors and librarians added a component thatincluded specific instruction on formulating research questions to improve students’ researchskills.Theoretical Foundations and Literature ReviewAssociation of College and

The lesson was fully implemented for fall semester 2017. Based ondata from the team’s first research project, and feedback from course faculty, the team piloted amid-semester reinforcement lesson in fall 2019. This second phase of the research project seeksto specifically reinforce students’ retention of concepts related to both the use of proper citationformatting and incorporation of more scholarly and authoritative sources in their team’s finalproject report.

Although this institution has beenfollowing this principle for the past ten years, it has done so with little direct knowledgeof students’ preferences regarding their options for print versus ebook format for theirtextbooks. Some studies have shown that students expressed a preference for using theirtextbooks in print format. To assess the usefulness of the service of providingeTextbooks, in the Fall 2019 semester the engineering librarians at the University ofMichigan developed and sent a survey to engineering graduate and undergraduatestudents whose textbooks were available as eTextbooks.
