. This course was designed to help students understand the motivation for theOpen Science movement and be most prepared to navigate these new standards, as they enter aresearch field. As a team of students and an instructor, we explored high-level concepts ofresearch linked to Open Science, and how modern tools facilitate reproducible research. Theobservations stated here are not considered comprehensive results from formal research, ratherthis paper provides reflections from a unique course that may inspire others to incorporate OpenScience practices into courses and research.Reproducibility along the research lifecycleThis course was centered around students understanding and creating reproducible research bydeveloping and assessing open

was high (95.3%), it was not perfect. We were unable to obtainthree books. Of these, two were different editions of Moran et al., which we substituted using the6th edition. The final unobtained book was a textbook on combustion by Turns (ISBN:9781260477696). Given the small fraction of the corpus that this single book represents, thisomission does not seriously threaten the external validity of our findings.While reserve lists reflect an important aspect of curricula, textbooks are only an approximationof the curriculum as-taught and as-intended. Textbooks are often only partly aligned with theteaching goals of a particular class; in some cases, there is no textbook that reflects the content ofa course. Given this approximate alignment, our

The presentation was well received and, some faculty in the CEE department wish toexplore ways to further integrate equitable citation practice into their graduate curriculum.Assignment ProposalAfter the presentation on citational justice, faculty in the CEE department became interested inintegrating critical citation practice into their graduate student’s research requirements. One ofthe faculty members developed a short reflective assignment for the graduate students theyadvise to complete. Included in this assignment was identifying who is most cited in the field,analyzing their identities, and reflecting on identities that were underrepresented or missing.After

of fourteen undergraduate College of Engineering and College of Sciences and Arts students’ answers to Q1: What do you think are 3-5 hard things about searching? And Q2: Which ones are cognitively complex? (star) Why? To create this study’s task diagram shown in Fig. 1, we first systematically workedthrough the answers to Q1 and sorted the data into categories. Although the words used todescribe the challenging aspects of search differed slightly among participants, the top-levelcategories reflect the common themes as analyzed by the author. Following best practices for thistechnique, we made multiple passes through the data in case new insights popped out [6]. Wethen placed the final categories at the top level of the

The course is grounded on theapproach of Raymond Landis, who coined the term World Class Engineering Student (WCES)[10]. The approach focuses on development of soft skills including collaboration, reflection, peerreview, and time management; skills which are increasingly recognized as an important part ofstudent development and success in engineering education, and essential in the development of aWCES [11]. In the Fall of 2023 semester, the AI literacy module was added and delivered

TheOER guide on authoring OER, Authoring Open Content [11], offers many solid advice toprospective OER authors. The resource covers far more than we can summarize here, but the listof ten tips for OER authors does reiterate some of the same lessons learned in the previouspapers. 10.

Students wanted to be able to have some privacy whenthey work but they also want to feel the comfort and energy of having other users around them.The ideal space would “feel more authentic” or, in design terms, reflect a use of natural lighting,more live plants, natural materials used in décor and lighting that can be managed by the studentin the space (dimmers, lamps, windows with blinds). This was a theme that prior research hadfound in the MSL, but our work further explored and revealed how important this element is.The results from this study were used in the MSL fourth and fifth floor renovations which beganin

Course scores for each report, as apercentage of the total possible score, and the percentage of graduate students on each team werecomputed as well in order to compare the final data from the two semesters in the sample. Two-sample t-tests assuming unequal variances were used to look for statistical differences betweenoutcomes for the Summer 2021 and Summer 2022 data.

Making use of library resources thus has benefits tomany students beyond providing a no-cost IM source.There were two notable absences in the responses related to information sources for IMselection. No respondents mentioned using book reviews, in spite of this recommendation madein at least one STEM instructional guidebook [2]. Also, none of our respondents indicated thatlibrarians were a resource for selecting IM. This may reflect a belief that librarians do notprovide support or have expertise in this type of information search and evaluation. However,there are many efforts and studies in library and information science about supporting thecreation and use of OER [8], [23] and OA materials [24]. Several of our

Then the surveyresults were used to guide the design of the new floors in the library.

to be on the information seeking behaviors of professional engineers ratherthan academics (Leckie et al., 1996). Some of the observations of professional engineers’information seeking behaviors clearly reflects the needs of their particular workplace settings.For example, researchers found a strong preference for professional engineers to work in teamsbecause of the increased facilitation of verbal communication, the ability to develop networksbased on trusted information, and the opportunities for richer feedback and contextualization(Fidel & Green, 2004; Freund, 2015). Professional engineers also rely on text-based documentsas information sources depending on the task and their knowledge of available sources (Freund,2015). When asking
