They may take courses designed with the Grand Challenges in mind, or develop aproject that applies subject knowledge. They must seek out opportunities to develop global perspectives,and participate in service learning projects. Our Engineering College web site sets out the programgoals: Research or Major ProjectAll GC Scholars will be required to initiate, complete and make a presentation on a research projectrelated to one or more Grand Challenges. Interdisciplinary CurriculumGC Scholars will be required to complete a curriculum that provides knowledge related to solving one ormore of the Grand Challenges. GCSP

This deep commitment should ultimately resultin a better product for our librarians and our users while providing our students with first-handentrepreneurial and research experience within the library. We are not only excited to turn Hack Dibner into an annual event at our institution, buthope that other engineering libraries will also be inspired to run their own versions of Hack[Your Library]. With that in mind, we have created a Starter Kit of materials, includingtimelines, templates, and rubrics as well as a website https://wp.nyu.edu/hackyourlibrary/ (underdevelopment spring 2019).Starter Kit In this section we outline materials that could be used by other libraries to run their ownHack [Your Library] contest

underrepresented students is small at this time, though it will undoubtedly grow over thenext few years.Although written primarily with graduate students in mind, Wosu and Pai's 2012 articleestablishing a model for diversity and equity provides an excellent introduction and path forwardfor any engineering program or library to follow. Out of the six performance indicators for theirmodel, libraries can have the greatest effect on both "institutional climate/culture" and"institutional receptivity". The climate/culture reflects how students are treated, opportunities forresearch and contributions to a chosen discipline, and especially whether students feel like theybelong. Library programming can be created to foster this sense of an "inclusive
commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion [1] there is a push foreducators to make a greater effort to improve outcomes for students from marginalized andlegally protected social identities. With this commitment in mind this research investigates ifengineering librarian members of ASEE have the knowledge, training, and support to incorporateinclusive teaching practices into their library instruction. This research examines the currentclimate for engineering librarians through an anonymous survey. The survey will collect data oninclusive teaching by engineering librarians. The study aims to answer whether librarians havethe knowledge, training, and support from their library, college, and institution to engage withinclusive teaching

Therefore, while some of the results of our study are not surprising,they provide data that shows the value of the educational experiences that non-faculty librarianscan help to create, and also guide us in making those experiences as impactful, but also asefficiently administered as possible. We contribute to the literature of engineering librarianshipand student outcomes assessment in that the type of projects we review are not widely assessedand reported.Our research is framed in the understanding that project-based learning (PBL) is effective
