This paper will explore the following questions aboutacademic engineering librarians in the post-war period.What was the demographic profile of engineering librarians in the late 1940s? How didengineering librarians compare to other librarians in terms of geographic region, age, education,and gender?What professional credentials did engineering librarians possess? Did engineering librarians havesimilar professional credentials as other librarians? Were they more likely to have advanceddegrees? Did they have degrees in engineering or a related field?What was the status of engineering librarians within the academy? Where they consideredacademic staff on par with teaching faculty

Research- Engineering Empathetic Engineers (E^3): Effects of the humanities on engineers' critical thinking and empathy skillsKeywords: Discourse Analysis, Interdisciplinary, Team Teaching, Post-secondary EducationTraditional disciplinary silos have separated engineering and the humanities, creating gaps inengineering students’ skills. Technical knowledge and aptitude have long been a mainstay inengineering education, whereas critical thinking, empathy, and ethical reasoning have been keyin the humanities. In an ever complex and interrelated world, society's grand challenges call forproblem-solving that provides technical innovations while considering and understanding thepeople involved and affected by that innovation.
