This paper presents a project currentlyconducted at Prairie View A&M University. Using Virtual Computing Lab (VCL), a CloudComputing application developed by North Carolina State University and IBM, the investigatorsmade a series of LabVIEW based engineering laboratories online. These laboratory setupsgreatly reduce the cost of experimental facilities, improve the lab schedule function, increase theaccessibility of equipment and courseware, and support teachers’ instructional needs. At thesame time, the original

. In this project, we aim to develop two valid and reliable informationliteracy assessments (a multiple choice skill test and a Likert-scale perception survey) that can beused to diagnose engineering students’ self-directed learning with a focus on information literacyskills and attitudes. Through a partnership between engineering and library faculty, wedeveloped and pilot-tested two assessment instruments. These instruments werepsychometrically evaluated and then compared to a more authentic and direct measure ofinformation literacy. While the preliminary results provided some promising validity andreliability evidence for these instruments, further evaluation is necessary prior to widerdissemination. This two-year project will focus on the

However, this minority group has been marginalized forsocial and economic reasons.
