facilitation tool, AM can be thought of as another piece of laboratory equipment that allowsstudents to explore engineering topics without the constraints that may be imposed by the use ofother manufacturing processes. In these cases the AM capability is simply a tool that can savestudents time and effort and allow more focus on other course content; however, in the processof making the part, the students may learn little or nothing about the AM process. Often all thestudents may know or care about is that they can send a CAD file of a desired part to the AMmachine and within a day or so, they are holding the part in their hands. Examples of utilizingAM as a facilitation tool include the fabrication of wind tunnel test models,3,4 parts for

This concentration is composed of courses such as powerelectronics, power transmission and distribution, and vehicle energy systems. In addition, a newcourse entitled Energy Systems & Sustainability was also developed for this concentration.This new Energy Systems & Sustainability course is designed to provide a broad overview andallows both engineering and non-engineering students to gain exposure to these areas. There isalso a separate laboratory course that is designed for the engineering students, and as suchcontains more technical detail. Only the lecture course is discussed in this work.

often work in laboratory settings –there are significant differences in the nature of their work and education. Pinelli explains thesedifferences in the work of engineers vs. scientists in great detail,3 but for our purposes whatmatters is how this plays out in terms of library use. As users, engineers behave differently thantheir peers in other disciplines. Many of them simply don’t use the library, physically orvirtually, and are unaware of library resources and services. Neither group is known to askreference questions in the traditional sense or request mediated searching. Tenopir states, “Evenwhen they do use a library, engineers like to search for information themselves rather than gothrough a librarian or other intermediary.”4
