]. Although there are some slight variations by state, there are fourmajor requirements to becoming a professional engineer (PE):  Graduate from an ABET-accredited engineering program,  Pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam,  Work under a PE for four years (three years with a Master’s in engineering), and  Pass the PE exam.Undergraduate engineering students may take the FE exam prior to graduation in their senioryear [5]. During an engineering student’s senior year, their time is limited and occupied withsenior design projects, finishing course work, and job hunting. Studying for the FE exam is oftenthe last thing on their minds. However, their interest increases when they learn that being able tolist on their resume that

publishing; and to allow students to delvemore deeply into a subject. The Search Strategy Page, as mentioned earlier, is a vehicle to studyand report on students’ progress. In this undergraduate engineering class, we teach for that class but keep in mind the needto encourage students to keep learning, keep searching and keep refining their ability forwriting/communicating well, over their coming 30-year-long professional career. The lifelonglearning standard was established in the 2000 ABET accreditation process with criteria 3i thatstated that programs must demonstrate that their students attain “a recognition of the need for,and an ability to engage in lifelong learning” [7]. Canada followed with 3.1.12, LifelongLearning [1]. Since

being able to expand outreach programsas well. With more librarians and new library spaces, we could host trainings, student groupevents, and mindfulness activities. This all connects to the original goal of serving the scienceand engineering departments via reference, instruction, outreach, and new programming.Space The physical space of library, like staffing, requires compromise between the Science &Engineering Library and library administration. Because renovations were planned in advance,many of the decisions about library space happened before I was hired. My assessment of thischallenge, then, is from a lens of future planning. The Science & Engineering Library is beingreduced in size from three floors to two floors, as the
