In addition, some professors, who had noticed the positiveimpact of the Library IL training at the undergraduate level, requested similar training forgraduate students [24]. Moreover, the rapid development of specialized bibliographic databasesled to an increase in the number of reference questions received at the Library, even though theengineering students were accustomed to using information

Education through the Experience-based learning.AbstractPrevious studies show that ~50% of engineering students withdraw or change to other majorsmainly due to the poor teaching and advising; the difficulty of the engineering curriculum; andmore importantly - the lack of “belonging” within engineering. Few studies link this problem tonon-engineering courses since most of their first-year courses are demanding and focusing ontopics other than engineering, such as chemistry, mathematics, and physics. To tackle suchissues, the College of Engineering, Architecture, and Technology (CEAT) at Oklahoma StateUniversity (OSU) is in the process of a multiyear plan to transform undergraduate education.

Beams, et al. [8]describe an experimental course that replaced (temporarily) a “Design Methodology” course forelectrical engineering majors, dubbed the “Leonardo Project.” The intent was that “engineerswould experience the design process through direct participation in the arts as artists in multiplefields of artistic expression.” Individual students worked directly with arts faculty mentors tocreate an artistic product. Students were required to prepare project plans in a way thatemphasized parallels between engineering design

We were fortunateto have support from our college’s research institute to help process the student payroll.After finalizing the number of students in the program, there was enough funding available toallow the students through their faculty mentors to purchase equipment (FPGA boards, robots,etc.) to support their projects. As we reached the end of the program, there were sufficient fundsremaining in the account to provide an additional $600 for each student in their last payrollperiod as a one-time payment.

These core skills include principals of science, mathematics, and areas of design and research for a practical application, which can include complex biological systems. They also include knowledge of the engineering design process, including planning, establishing processes, evaluating, and a focus on pragmatic outcomes. The report notes that even though the subject matter will evolve and technology will change, these core skills will remain.  Practical ingenuity.

Because the cost of higher education is significant,many rural potential students become work-bound as well while saving for school. In Burnell’sstudy of 26 college-able, work-bound rural students, 0 of 26 planned to attend college rightaway. However, they shared the characteristic of “goal-directedness”, and those with long-termcollege plans were either working to raise money for college or doing a vocational sequence witha long-term college goal in that industry.A similar cause for being place-bound exists amongst metropolitan area populations.

One observation was that BIM provided a logicalapplication to an otherwise unscientific design journey. The studio assessments werequalitative. This created some apprehension as the grading appeared subjective. The assessmentwas based on a qualitative relative grading system [27, pp. 434-435].
