immediate human situations in a personal way [10]’. The diverger learning style isbest fulfilled by the practice reflective observation where they focus on the understanding ofideas and situations by observing and describing them [10]. During the abstractconceptualization, stage assimilators can focus on using logic, ideas, and concepts to understandthe topic [10]. Finally, the convergers learning style is best fulfilled by active experimentationfocusing on activity influencing the situation and emphasizes practicing application [10]. WhileKolb’s experiential learning cycle is shown in four defined learning stages, it is assumed thatmost learners learn in more than one way and can be fulfilled by more than one stage of thecycle

. Student artifacts of engagement with this module included a research topic tree, a key word tree, and a written reflection. (See Appendix E.)Assessment Instruments Two assessment instruments were developed by the researches based upon the uniqueneeds of the study. The Final Course Activities Evaluation Rubric was developed to evaluate andprovide a total score relating to whether, or how well, a student could critically evaluate andselect credible and meaningful resources in their research and writing. A second rubric, the 10Supplemental Course Activities Engagement Rubric,was developed in order to better understandhow engaged

experiences inestablishing a new engineering collection and services from the ground-up.IntroductionThe rapid growth of engineering programs across many different types of institutions is welldocumented. As a recent ASEE Prism [1] article noted, “the growth curve coincides with anational push for STEM education by policymakers at all levels. It also reflects a recession-chastened generation of students seeking a degree that translates to a stable, well-paying job, andwidening opportunities for engineers in advanced manufacturing, computer science, and thebiomedical and biotechnology fields.” Reflecting this national trend, Dixie State University, apublic comprehensive university recently moved from offering a pre-engineering associatesprogram to

, funding DMPs were not covered in theclassroom. Thielen et al. developed and taught a for credit course on Data Management for graduatestudents in climate and space sciences.[5] For this course, students had weekly assignments towrite a section of a DMP based on that week’s classroom activities. The final project thenconsisted of combining these sections in a comprehensive DMP. This student assignment is anexample of the project DMP. The authors note that: 1) the DMP “was not tied to any fundingagency requirement”, and 2) the assignment may be revised in the future and limit the DMP totwo pages to “more accurately reflect federal funding agency requirements”.[5] Thus, theauthors acknowledge the funding DMP (i.e., a desire to limit the DMP

instructors with the necessary tools and support to ensure instructionalcoherence across all sections of ENC 3246. Developing material for the Failure Analysis ProjectThe Failure Analysis Project was introduced in summer 2017 in order to add a broadlyapplicable writing task that would feature research as an ethical practice, thereby bettersupporting current ABET criteria. Several of the new research tools discussed in this paper,including the credibility checklist and updated course guides, also reflect ABET accreditationcriteria, specifically General Criterion 3 [1, pg. 3] (Student Outcomes) and General Criterion 5(Curriculum) [1, pg. 5].This assignment was further developed in response to a recent initiative from the UF College ofEngineering

research guides specifically dedicated to chemical pricing.The presence or absence of certain sources on a research guide is often governed by perceivedpatron needs and what resources are licensed by the library. If a librarian is not familiar with theneed (or has no requests), they are not likely to include such information. Furthermore, librariesmay have policies that restrict the types and organization of research guides, leaving littlediscretion for a librarian to create chemical pricing research guide or even a chemical pricing tab.On the other hand, the presence or absence of chemical pricing guides may just be a reflection ofthe resources needed and used at a given institution.Many of the sources mentioned by Maizell8 and Reichardt15 remain

lessons we learned throughout the process aswell. First was the use of a kick-off event. We learned quickly that it was easier to get studentsto attend a kick-off event where they could learn about the competition, find teammates, and signup, than it was to ask students to directly sign up. We also recognize that it is important to havea solid timeline before the competition begins. That timeline should reflect both the dates thecompetitors will need to submit their deliverables, and also the dates of the workshops and otherevents. In planning this competition our original schedule, given out at the kickoff, set theworkshops for a specific week, and the actual date was given out a week or so before hand. Thislead to confusion and scheduling
