cognizantof the ethical aspects of scientific publishing in their field.The focus of this study is to find common reasons for retraction in engineeringscholarship in order to identify points of need in education about the publishing cycle.This will help educators to teach engineering students seeking to publish how to avoidcommon publishing pitfalls. Graduate programs play a critical role in preparing studentsfor an academic career. Together with faculty, librarians can work to give students agrounding in the fundamentals of publishing ethics due to their combination of scholarlycommunications expertise and hands-on experience with the information behavior ofstudents at their institutions

the workshop and challenging circumstances for all,achieving parity with last year’s outcomes indicates that in its new format, the workshop is stillproviding first year students with the foundational research skills they’ll need to be successful intheir academic and professional careers as engineers.IntroductionOver the last two years, Research & Instruction librarians at Northeastern University havecollaborated with the First Year Engineering program to develop and refine an interactiveworkshop series designed to introduce new engineering students to key research resources andskills at the start of their degree programs, thus establishing a foundation in university-levelengineering research [1].At Northeastern University College of

sessions.ConclusionsA current trend in engineering education is to incorporate a multidisciplinary educationalexperience into the curriculum. For example, the UF Environmental Engineering programimplemented curriculum changes in 2020 to include interdisciplinary courses where studentsbuild knowledge and relevant skills in topics that bridge disciplines. But students must still learnthe basics of engineering and be proficient in many areas. The FE exam is a tool that departmentscan use to evaluate their curriculum and adjust as necessary to ensure their students are ready forprofessional careers. Although the FE exam has its limitations in that it is not a comprehensiveassessment of an engineering education, it is currently the only universal assessment

building a new generation ofmachines, materials, and systems [1]. As a result, these challenges will require us to examinehow we not only educate engineers for the future, but also to integrate techniques from the largerfield of education so that we can apply research-informed approaches to engineering education.When we talk about a research-informed approach in the context of this work, we are discussingthe method of engaging in interactional ethnography as a logic of inquiry, and as a method forinforming curricular based decisions [2]. Many engineering and science curricula focusprimarily on students developing the technical skills required for their careers post-graduation.This focus on technical skills often comes at the cost of the

iniatives or other projectsthat are expected to last a minimum of 5 years. Courses are designed around anexperiantal learning pedagogy and not a lecture format.At NYU there are roughly 40 VIP teams operating. Students join teams for threesemesters. Each semester students enroll for one credit, and at the end of three semester,with three credits earned, students are able to apply their participation in VIP as atechincal elective towards their graduation. The three semester model creates anopportunity for students to move from beginners in their first semesters to team leaders intheir last, replicating how they might grow in their future careers. It also means that VIPprojects outlast any individual students participation. Students enter the VIP
