quantify the effects that ERs have on students in these settings, by describing how well theyprovide instruction to students. The quality of these programs will be judged by the results ofstudies gathered in a literature review. The collected literature will also be used to define globaltrends in the current applications of ERs and in how educational tools are developing. Tocompliment this literature review, a survey will be distributed to instructors of robotics clubs inhigh schools to see if these programs align with global trends found in the literature review.Other goals of this study include identifying platforms and teaching methods that deserve moreattention for research and what platforms, tools, and methods have become outdated.1

However, there isa gap in literature that describes empirical studies of knowledge maps in engineering informationliteracy instruction.The purpose of this paper is to explore the effectiveness of knowledge maps in enhancingengineering information literacy instruction. With the knowledge maps, librarians can save timein preparing the library instruction materials. The maps can be used for in-class exercises andinformation literacy skills assessments. Engineering students can use the knowledge maps in theclass and for future reference and other learning activities such as laboratory research.The experiment was done in an information literacy instruction session for a senior-levelundergraduate

For those working in academia, workshifted away from research and teaching activities involving face-to-face interactions withstudents and colleagues or access to specialized facilities/laboratories in order to conduct theirwork. The burden of transitioning work to a fully online environment led to respondentsreporting that the pandemic shifted the focus of their work away from research/writing
research, and early indications that students areable transfer skills into subsequent design courses.IntroductionSmith, Wankat, and Froyd [1] point out in their analysis of historical trends in engineeringeducation, that while design has been important since the turn of the last century [2], theemphasis on teaching design has been increasing in engineering degree programs. In part this isdue to ABET’s requirement of a culminating design experience following the shift to EC-2000about two decades ago [3]. The resurgence of design is also due to: a recognition that designcourses can address a broad range of transferable skills thought important for graduates [4],design and problem solving align with the epistemological stance of engineers [5], the
forms of interdependence. These views of how expertise operates in team5settings treat expertise as something that is both easily identifiable within individuals and roles,and something that can be applied discretely to a particular task or problem. Indeed, over timedisciplines, professions and roles become affiliated with particular forms of expertise and assertjurisdiction over particular tasks and work roles (Abbott, 1988). However, these frameworks regarding the utilization of expertise in group settings relyupon assumptions about the practice of expert work that may not match how individuals operatein STEM laboratory settings. These perspectives start from a common fundamental assumptionthat experts know and/or have the tacit
