Research Methods course (given in Frenchonly) began in September 2002 as a collaboration with the two professors in charge of thecourse. The professors were responsible for the lectures, whereas the Library was to conduct sixtwo-hour laboratories as part of the course and to grade 50% of the credit. ING8901 wasmandatory for PhD students, yet Master’s students could also attend the course.The main objectives of the laboratories were: ● to define information needs; ● to build and optimize a search strategy; ● to find information sources relevant to one's research field; ● to respect copyright and to avoid plagiarism; and ● to manage references using bibliographic management software.To help the students produce their literature review, the

Sponsor a girls technology summer camp where women engineering students help teach middle school girlsThrough outreach programs, women engineering students promote the engineering profession tomiddle school girls as they begin taking the math and science classes they will need as anengineering college major.5 Started in the summer of 2016 and continuing in the summer of2017, a week-long full day camp for middle school girls was held at the UF science andengineering library. Teaming with women engineering students to teach the middle school girlscreative technologies reinforced the women engineering students’ belief in their own abilities.3. Hold a human

section 2, were launched between 2009 and2014.2. Identifying the needs of graduate students and facultyThe 2009 assessment, performed by the Professional Enrichment Center, in collaboration withthe Office of Graduate Studies, surveyed 214 graduate students and organized various focusgroups with eight graduate program coordinators. The participants reported deficiencies in a)technical writing and communication skills, b) search strategies, and c) research integrity. Theassessments also exposed unsatisfactory and inadequate laboratory facilities for graduateresearch, as well as the lack of accommodations for collaborative learning. These findings agreewith the literature regarding support services for graduate students [3-6].In 2012, the Research

to 2013 he was manager of the KAUST Visualization Laboratory Core Facility and the Supercomputer Facility at King Abdullah’s University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Thuwal, Saudi Arabia. At KAUST he recruited a technical team of engineers and visualization scientists while managing the building of the state of the art scientific data visualization laboratory on the KAUST campus, forged relationships with international university and corporate partners, continued to improve the laboratory and recruit new staff. Prior to his work in Saudi Arabia, Dr. Cutchin worked at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) first as manager of Visualization Services at the San Diego Supercomputer Center and later at

would be “incredibly helpful”.AE scholars also use a wide variety of tools and platforms for sharing research data. Manyfaculty think of the published thesis or journal article as the public sharing of data. However,internally, data is shared through local tools like emails and shared laboratory disc drives. Datathat is not sensitive is shared through document sharing platforms like Microsoft OneDrive,Dropbox, and Google Drive. Services like QNAP's Network Attached Storage (NAS) are alsoused for backup, storage, and transferring large data. Although sharing data internally wasgenerally not considered a challenge by most respondents, getting large amounts of simulationdata from one place to another was a problem.

cohorts provided visual insights into learners'research pathways from online to laboratory work. 1IntroductionThe pathways to STEM careers are diverse and varied. It is well known that early exposure toSTEM environments can inculcate and reinforce interests in technical fields at key decisionpoints when individuals choose career pathways [1]–[3]. Given the importance of a strong STEMtalent-base to global economic competitiveness and prosperity, there exists a need to cultivate apre-college landscape gives all students broad, authentic exposure to STEM fields earlier in theireducation [4]. In the framework of cognitive career theory, individuals choose careers based oninterests, attitudes, and values

recording of protocols and progress has been done via paper labnotebooks. With the popularity of the internet, many have been turning to electronicmeans to record their study data, though this does not imply that paper lab notebookshave been completely abandoned. In the beginning, many were making use of tools notnecessarily created for the sole use in laboratories, such as Microsoft Word, Evernote,Google Docs, or other means of recording notes online and/or via a computer.However, there proved to be a market for products used especially by those doingresearch on scientific fields and thus the electronic lab notebook was born. New YorkUniversity Abu Dhabi has a growing faculty specializing in STEM fields. As with anyother university, the STEM

undergraduates who may not have the need to interact withlibrary resources or liaison librarians until farther along in their undergraduate or graduatestudies due to other course requirements mostly consisting of engineering fundamentals, andfocus in laboratory and design assignments. The benefits of taking the library to the studentsinclude providing opportunities for the library staff to meet more students and faculty, promotelibrary research resources, and create follow-up appointments for one-on-one research assistance.This paper discusses the implementation details of the program, such as, determining the bestlocations for the pop-up library, the marketing and publicity of each pop-up, the types ofresources and services that were highlighted, and

University. Adrienne’s research interests include electrokinetics, predominantly di-electrophoretic characterizations of cells, and the development of biomedical microdevices. She earned aNSF CAREER award and was nominated for Michigan Professor of the Year in 2014. Research within herMedical micro-Device Engineering Research Laboratory (M.D. – ERL) also inspires the development ofDesktop Experiment Modules (DEMos) for use in chemical engineering classrooms or as outreach activi-ties in area schools (see www.mderl.org). Adrienne is currently co-Chair of ASEE’s Diversity Committeeand PIC I Chair; she has previously served on WIED, ChED, and NEE leadership teams and contributedto 37 ASEE conference proceedings articles

theMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Radiation Laboratory, and many other researchinstitutions. In the mid-1940s, the library was also designated as a depository for the Army MapServices. In 1950, the Georgia Tech Library was made a Depository for the Atomic EnergyCommission (AEC), together with fifty or so other research libraries. Reports from AEC weremade available to engineers, scientists, industrialist and others to help foster scientific researchand industrial development in Georgia and the southeast region. Under Crosland’s direction, theLibrary also added reports from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), theOffice of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD), which was superseded by the NationalDefense Research
