on to state that this can be supported by the growing number ofentrepreneurial courses which have been added to the curriculum, by having students working onprojects with companies, and by working with the technology transfer office within theuniversity [2, p. 3].The last factor driving business representation in engineering curriculums is an increase in thenumber of interdisciplinary programs on campus. Formal intersections that occur within existingcurricular frameworks, and include some form of collaboration, were illustrated in multiplestudies. Those include integration of case-based learning or business skills training to anengineering course sequence [6], [14], [15], transformation of a traditional engineeringcurriculum by

changes. In a recent effort to re-establish arelationship between the Engineering department and University Library, the library adopted auser centered approach to build connections and establish relationships. Contrary to an “if webuild it, they will come” approach, this strategy prioritized a series of interviews and focusgroups with students, staff, and faculty within the division. This listening first approach hashelped us prioritize library resources in response to demonstrated curricula, research, andscholarship needs, many of which have changed over the past three years. This case studyexamines student focus groups and interviews. Major takeaways include new knowledge ofstudent research practices, detailed insights from minoritized

) to gather feedback on what characteristics of an undergraduateengineering technical standard training program are most desired across professional sectors inthe United States nationwide. The survey was distributed across the engineering field to students,academics, industry employees, and government employees through multiple professionalorganizations and societies. Two hundred and one individuals participated in the survey. Theresults show that the engineering field agrees that (1) technical standards should be taught in theundergraduate engineering curriculum, (2) professors teaching undergraduate engineeringcourses have an acceptable knowledge of technical standards, and (3) four-year academicengineering programs do not put sufficient

. In fact, many of the ideas presented by theassociation are extracurricular in nature, which has been found to be ineffective for reachingengineering graduate students, according to meta-synthesis [1]. While librarians are oftenspecialized in the areas engineering graduate students lack and seek personal mentorship in, theyare often stuck in providing that support by ineffective means. The typical engineering curriculum does not have courses on research methods, few havecourses on research integrity or publication ethics, proposing research, writing, peer reviewing,or how your worldview influences your research [4, 5]. Published engineering literature, in fact,often leaves many of these important aspects of research as assumed [5

-being, empowerment, and even personal development [23], [24], [25].Academic librarians describe themselves as an integral part of the student experience due to theirprovision of academic supports and services, spaces, tools and resources for academic work andcollaboration. Additionally, academic librarians and libraries encourage and foster a sense ofbelonging for students via events, programs, and employment, as well as by helping themdevelop academic and job-relevant skills [26], [24], [27]. These many student-centered effortscan, and often are, implemented to support specific under-represented populations, such asdisabled students. With focused intention, self-education, and sustained effort, librarians canbuild in support for disabled

audiences. University engineeringprograms can fill this gap to promote their educational programs to youths in their regions. Theycan begin to integrate skill development with their outreach sessions to promote desiredengineering skills, or habits of mind, such as problem solving, collaboration, creativity,communication, ethical considerations, innovative thinking, etc. [3]. Recognizing the importanceof this preparation, the College of Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno coordinatedsummer camp programming for middle and high school students to introduce them toengineering disciplines and get them excited about pursuing an education in this field. TheCollege of Engineering summer camp program primarily focused on exposing students

. Undergraduate students takingthe course as an elective may have attended library workshops during previous classes atNortheastern University. There is a common course for all first years that includes a libraryworkshop; however, that program was not required for all sections when this cohort werefreshmen, so attendance likely varies from student to student. Those who did attend would havereceived an introduction to commonly used research databases in engineering and would havepracticed evaluating and citing sources as part of assignments for that course. Additionally,students likely received some instruction and practice for IL skills in other courses throughoutthe curriculum, including a writing intensive course in their major and an advanced

been defined as a service model where an academic librarian participates in acourse or program on a continuing basis in order to understand the learning objectives anddetermine which library resources best support them [11, p.2]. Being an embedded librarian is apartnership between the faculty and librarian. As an embedded librarian, you are working withthe faculty on many aspects of their curriculum and your information literacy instruction learningoutcomes and assessments. An embedded librarian is a collaborator, as building a strongrelationship with the faculty is seen as one of the critical elements in successful incorporation ofinformation literacy instruction into a university curriculum [2].

Theleast common forms of collaboration were having a librarian presence in the course managementsystem (CMS) [and] having collaborative learning outcomes” [6, p. 56].

Instead, Romero Rodriguez used the gamificationaspects of Nearpod to deliver instruction on the engineering curriculum to two of their threecourse sections, with the last section receiving instruction as traditional lectures. They found thevast majority (98%) preferred the gamification instruction used in Nearpod to the traditionalmethods. In addition, 91% of forty-seven students surveyed shared that lectures using Nearpodincreased their motivation for the course topics. The gamified group also had an increasedpassing rate and higher

encounter.ConclusionBy integrating Open Science practices and tools into an undergraduate research course, studentslearned first-hand reproducible research practices. This course equipped students withfoundational knowledge of the scientific method and research lifecycle and provided hands-onexperience in utilizing digital tools for transparent and open dissemination of research outputs.While simultaneously learning about the steps to create and share research outputs, studentslearned how opening these outputs help outside researchers, collaborators, and themselves.Through research samples in Jupyter Notebooks in a reproducibility assessment, studentsuncovered insights into the practical application and impact of Open Science tools and practiceson the
