The school has a faculty of more than 40 tenure-track professors and enrollment ofmore than 1,300 graduate and undergraduate students. There are nearly 20 labs and researchgroups housed within the school.Selected Literature ReviewResearch libraries have provided data management services for over a decade. Many suchservices continue to provide value and to make an impact in their respective researchcommunities. In order to improve data services for research communities, librarians haveconstantly sought

degrees and academic careers in engineering; toaid graduate engineering students in preparing to seek employment in academia; and to increasepedagogical understanding and best practices in engineering education” [2]. The similaritiesbetween the missions of the Libraries and ASEE@SU, both of whom pledge to aid students inachieving success in their academic careers and beyond, and the desire to find the mostsuccessful avenues for connecting with graduate students helped to foster a mutually beneficialrelationship. ASEE@SU puts on programming throughout each academic year, mainly in theform of workshops and seminars designed to sharpen ECS graduate student’s soft skills. Theircore programming, however, is the annual Soft Skills Boot Camp, also known

She received a CAREER award in 2010 and a PECASE award in 2012 for her project researching the stories of undergraduate engineering women and men of color and white women. She received ASEE-ERM’s best paper award for her CAREER research, and the Denice Denton Emerging Leader award from the Anita Borg Institute, both in 2013. She helped found, fund, and grow the PEER Collaborative, a peer mentoring group of early career and re- cently tenured faculty and research staff primarily evaluated based on their engineering education research productivity.

than 31% were aware of our departmental liaisonprogram. Only 18% of the respondents said that they got help from a librarian when citingsources or doing research BUT fewer than 25% of the undergraduates and graduate studentscould recognize a scholarly article from a list of different types of citations given in the survey.In the Spring 2018 semester, a library satisfaction survey for faculty was distributed. 544 facultywere requested to complete the survey, 28 responses were received at a response rate of 5%.Although the response rate was low, some responses were interesting and caused our liaisonlibrarians to think further on how to better market the library. Below are some examples to oneof the survey questions:How do you think a librarian

session. There are opportunities for continuedinteraction with students during reference and research consultation services. Librarians whoparticipate in student clubs, research expos, or practice embedded librarianship are able to buildmeaningful connections with students to provide research and academic support. Therefore, ILcurricula should be carefully and frequently evaluated for excessive materials. Librarians shouldrefrain from the urge to teach everything in a single session. Instead, they should consider theapproach to ‘microlearning’ or bite-sized learning. This approach to microlearning is a part ofthreshold concepts, which are the basis for ACRL framework [1]. Threshold concepts “are thoseideas in any discipline that are passageways

potential to be deployed to millions of people.Given that level of penetration that computer algorithms have into people’s private decisionmaking processes, training our undergraduate students in ethics pertaining to algorithmsbecomes a necessity, much like medical ethics are required of medical students. Computersystems may have bias in their operation. Our students need to have an understanding of howbias enters these sophisticated software applications and how to prevent it.We researched algorithm bias education of computer science students because we wanted todevelop a module on bias awareness and assessment for our students. Our aim is to help studentsin their college coursework, and, later, as practicing computer programmers, to create

It is also one of the best places to embedinformation literacy education; PBL is an established method of bringing both disciplinary skillsand lifelong learning skills together in ways that are engaging for students, and in the case ofservice learning, impactful to communities or individual stakeholders.4,5 WPI, as well as otherinstitutions aiming to graduate future engineers across specializations, use student projectoutcomes to support professional as well as technical skills development for a wide variety ofaccreditation standards, including but not limited to those of ABET in the U.S.A

under Sciences or Engineering.Pre-Use SurveyAs a STEM Librarian, Amani Magid provides outreach to her constituents via STEMLibrarian Day. Every other week, she spends the day in the science building, fieldingquestions about library resources and services. As this service has been provided forthe last 4 years, she has become acquainted with many of the faculty, staff, postdocsand graduate students, even given the growth of the university. As a result, there aresome who attend the STEM Librarian Day for the social aspect, as said Librarianwelcomes this as well, for it forges ties and can build friendships. On one such day, oneof the scientists who came for a social visit, began talking about business and began todiscuss the instrumentation he
