c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Embedding video-based learning modules for library research methods in an online graduate engineering degree programAbstractAt the University of California, Berkeley, the College of Engineering has launched a fully onlineMaster's degree program in integrated circuits. As part of this program, students are required tocomplete a comprehensive capstone project requiring access to the research literature andtraining on its use.The Library plays an important role in providing the information resources and instruction tohelp students succeed in their capstone. In response to student need, we designed an onlineinstruction environment that supports common information challenges, uses

The space includes 14 group study rooms, 2instructional classrooms, 2 storage rooms, and 1 office utilized by the CARE ProgramCoordinator -- who is funded by the COE. CARE was initially funded by a combination ofLibrary Student/IT Fee money, COE Student Fee funds, and COE foundation moneys. Thesefunds were used for high-end engineering workstation equipment, projection equipment,furniture, digital signage, glass and whiteboard equipment, collaboration furniture, andcomputing equipment.The total seating capacity for the CARE area in the Grainger Library is 472 with an additional154 seats available for overflow.

expertengineers for the purpose of reducing the time needed to become a highly effective engineer. Inparticular, Atman and colleagues have added substantially to this knowledge base throughresearch comparing students to experienced engineers. Atman and colleagues synthesized theirresearch and described four areas where differences are most notable: (1) problem scoping andinformation gathering, (2) project realization, (3) considering alternative solutions, and (4) totaltime and transitions.9In regard to problem scoping and information gathering, Atman and colleagues found severaldifferences between first-year students, more advanced engineering students, and experiencedengineers.9 For example, first-year students are not as effective as seniors in
