Jacob Leachman is an Assistant Professor in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Washington State University (WSU). He initiated the HYdrogen Properties for Energy Research (HY- PER) laboratory at WSU in 2010 with the mission to advance the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of hydrogen systems. He received a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Idaho in 2005 and a M.S. degree in 2007. His master’s thesis has been adopted as the foundation for hydrogen fuel- ing standards and custody exchange, in addition to winning the Western Association of Graduate Schools Distinguished Thesis Award for 2008. He completed his Ph.D. in the Cryogenic Engineering Laboratory at the University of

experiences.Dr. Marie C Paretti, Virginia Tech Marie C. Paretti is an Associate Professor of Engineering Education at Virginia Tech, where she co- directs the Virginia Tech Engineering Communications Center (VTECC). Her research focuses on com- munication in engineering design, interdisciplinary communication and collaboration, design education, and gender in engineering. She was awarded a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation to study expert teaching in capstone design courses, and is co-PI on numerous NSF grants exploring com- munication, design, and identity in engineering. Drawing on theories of situated learning and identity development, her work includes studies on the teaching and learning of communication

social impact for the funding he had received from the National Science Foundationfor research into digital fabrication. It is the extension arm of the CBA that is responsible foreducational outreach. Even though the originator of the FabLab concept had not envisioned anyconnection between digital fabrication and education, this connection has definitely now beenintegrated into its function.9 Page 26.882.4Among other things, FabLabs are a knowledge-sharing global network of labs that enableinvention by providing access to tools for fabrication. They are a “distributed laboratory forresearch and invention” that offer their members a place to “play

often work in laboratory settings –there are significant differences in the nature of their work and education. Pinelli explains thesedifferences in the work of engineers vs. scientists in great detail,3 but for our purposes whatmatters is how this plays out in terms of library use. As users, engineers behave differently thantheir peers in other disciplines. Many of them simply don’t use the library, physically orvirtually, and are unaware of library resources and services. Neither group is known to askreference questions in the traditional sense or request mediated searching. Tenopir states, “Evenwhen they do use a library, engineers like to search for information themselves rather than gothrough a librarian or other intermediary.”4
