TheCAN program is not particularly intuitive or user friendly to the inexperienced. To make theCAN system intuitive and easy to use the labVIEW program is used to operate the CAN system.The end result of this is a laptop screen with a user-friendly interface composed of mouseclickable buttons written in simple terms such as “on”, “off”, “system cool down” combined withreal time data including temperature, volts, amps, etc. Using the labVIEW virtual interfaces(VI’s) just about anyone with a quick introduction is capable of operating the fuel cell system.

enhanceinstructional opportunities at the reference desk as they can provide direction for referencelibrarians working with students whose research topics may be outside that librarian's area(s) ofexpertise.Educators and librarians have advocated the incorporation of information literacy instruction intothe curriculum since the 1970's [5]. This type of instruction has become increasingly importantin recent years, particularly to engineers and other technical professionals. While it isimpractical to try to cover all of the ACRL information literacy standards in a research guide,they are well suited to address portions of Standard One (Know) and Standard Two (Access) [1,4]. These standards also fall in line with ABET's Criterion 3(i) in which it states that

Assessment. For example, many student misconceptions of crystalstructure included addition or deletion of atoms in the unit cell. Not all misconceptions involvedadding or removing the same atom, but because these were similar misconceptions, hinting at anemergent theme, they were grouped into one category referencing extra or missing atom(s). Eachstudent conception was then assigned categories based on these emergent themes. This processcontinued for each student response to each question on each Topical Module Assessment. Thecategorization with emergent themes gave categories of misconceptions on atomic bonding,crystal structures, deformation, polymers, and electrical properties.Support for Student Learning SurveyAt the end of the course, students
