Hack Your Library:Engage students in information literacy through a technology-themed competitionAbstract Hack Dibner is a library competition for engineering students focused on informationliteracy, technology, and user experience. The challenge statement was “To enhance userexperience in the library through technology.” Students were allowed to participate asindividuals or as teams, and were required to submit three deliverables throughout the semester:an initial concept, a written proposal, and a presentation. These deliverables required thestudents to perform a literature review to support their project ideas and to practice crafting anddelivering effective presentations. To hold the students’ interest throughout the semester

This paper reports on theimplementation of this program in academic-year 2017/18 and is meant to serve as an openroadmap for those interested in developing an interdisciplinary community of practice to supportwriting instruction in STEM.In Section II, we describe our institutional context, project background, and preparatory work. InSection III, we describe the central concepts that informed our activities, namely writing-across-the-curriculum approaches to writing instruction, the community of practice notion of sharedknowledge-making, and principles of transdisciplinary action research. This section brieflyreviews the literature and elaborates on the structure of the WAE program. Section

This work extends prior research by King and Kitchener (1994) and others (Baxter Magolda, 1992; Belenky, Clinchy, Goldberger, & Tarule, 1986; Hofer & Pintrich, 2002; Perry, 1970) about the ways students develop increasingly sophisticated ways of: understanding and conceptualizing knowledge; sources of truth; how to evaluate various opinions and points-of-view; and ways to assess truthfulness and validity of new ideas. This project stems from the proposition that this development process manifests itself somewhat differently in fields that deal with physical sciences than in

connection between the technical materialtraditionally taught in engineering classes and the ethical implications of design.In addition to where ethics is taught in the civil engineering curriculum, the way ethics is taughtand how students are assessed impact the quality of their ethics education. Case studies, class orgroup discussion, inclusion of ethics in design projects, theoretical grounding, and servicelearning have all been identified as effective modes of disseminating ethics1,2,7,10. Assessmenthas also been identified as an important facet of ethics education, particularly formativeassessment that occurs in the classroom12. Many of these methods can be categorized as activelearning, which has been shown to increase conceptual understanding

We mapped the findings tothe KEEN Framework and the Longitudinal Model of Motivation and Identity (LMMI), whichcombines self-determination theory with possible-selves theory. The results were used to developa set of best practices that may be incorporated into EML projects and courses such as allowingstudents some type of choice in their project, whether it is open-ended or highly bounded. Thesebest practices were leveraged during the curriculum development in subsequent phases of thepilot to encourage autonomous motivation and identity development of first-year engineeringstudents.IntroductionEngineering educators have recognized the importance of creativity and entrepreneurship in
