No-one has explored the structure of cow-hoof the way we have, and it could be any way we feel it might be. We have submitted a beautiful 3D drawing of what we think it looks like at a microscopic level. I have discovered the aesthetic beauty of my work and now I can own it.Cynthia now specialises in environmental management and decision making, cleantechnology, and the practicalities of low energy, resource recovery options for wastetreatment, incorporating the social and ethical dimensions of these issues.

Civilengineering departments, as they set their educational program objectives, in general feel directlythe influence, advice and opinions of their local industry advisory committees and of employersof the program graduates. These people are, in the view of most educators, our “customers.”Nonetheless, it may be correct to assume, from anecdotal and “grass-roots” communication, thatthe beliefs of local industry leaders and employers -- our customers -- are entirely

Additionally, faculty hiring trends in STEMfields have brought in faculty who have access to and experience in using “toolboxes” such as AI,machine learning, data science and cybersecurity to enhance their research. Furthermore, to helpcontextualize academic research needs at comprehensive institutions, many university libraries areadding faculty positions with specific aims including data science, copyright / intellectual property;virtual / extended reality and AI / emerging technologies to support research in critical areas suchas autonomy, advanced materials, big data, cultural geography, linguistics, discovery and digitalhumanities.Aside from formulation of the algorithms behind LLM’s [1], a great deal of dialogue

barriers to successful implementation of a liaison effort are related to personalities andeducational backgrounds of Chinese librarians. Zeng [8] summarizes the qualities required to bea liaison librarian as information literacy skills, solid background in one or more disciplines,marketing and public relations skills, ethics and life-time learning capabilities. Many Chineselibrarians chose this job because they expected to mainly handle books instead of people. Astheir personalities generally tend to be quiet, outreach- as a main requirement for a liaisonlibrarian- can be very challenging. Educational background is another issue in China.

A small number of studies focused on comparing teaching approaches toidentify approaches that lead to higher learning gains.Methods: How are we conducting assessments?With respect to the methods used to conduct assessment, surveys dominated the literaturereviewed, with more than half of the papers reporting survey data.

aspirations.In developing what is currently known as Engineering Criteria 2000, ABET reaffirmed a set of"hard" engineering skills, while introducing a second, equally important, set of six "professional"skills. These latter skills include communication, teamwork, and understanding ethics andprofessionalism, which are designated as process skills; and engineering within a global andsocietal context, lifelong learning, and knowledge of contemporary issues, which are designatedas awareness skills3. While it is traditionally easy to measure and evaluate hard skills throughmathematics, science, technology, and engineering courses, assessment of soft-skills poses somechallenges to engineering educators.

instructional models without fully discarding them. Though this subjectwas designated to be delivered as a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) subject, the educationalapproach taken was such that the PBL delivery was only a part of a pedagogical toolbox. Themain educational thrust was one of inductive learning and teaching derived from courses suchas creative arts. Aside from PBL, the inductive teaching approach incorporated Case-Based(CBL) and Enquiry- Based learning (EBL) which provided the appropriate pedagogicalscaffolding for knowledge integration. Material technological sciences, manufacturingengineering, engineering design, issues of ethics, sustainability and environment were weavedtogether.
