in Engineering Education (FREE, formerly RIFE, group), whose diverse projects and group members are described at feministengineering.org. 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.

this paper is to share the lessons we learned by reflecting upon our experiences withtechnology lending and teaching workshops while examining data from checkout informationand personal surveys to draw conclusions about best practices and the impact we have on thecampus community.Technology LendingLibraries have very robust systems for lending books to their users, and often use these systemsto loan non-book items. At North Carolina State University Libraries, we have loaned a varietyof technology items (such as laptops and cameras) for over a decade through our TechnologyLending Service. Using the existing infrastructure, adding a new type of item requires only asmall amount of policy decision-making and staff training. For example, in 2010

Gaining supervisoryexperience at this mid-size library is an opportunity not always afforded librarians employed atthe larger UTL branches. A steady transition in the department towards more collaborativeplanning has also provided mentoring opportunities as newer librarians are encouraged toprovide greater input into budgetary planning and goal setting. Increased information sharingthrough weekly librarian meetings and collaboration in large undertakings such as ECSL’sPersonal Librarian project and a survey of faculty data management practices has also opened upopportunities for newer

inproviding transformational educational experiences for students, and that it is an excellent way toattract and retain diverse students to STEM disciplines. 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
