faculty onlineprofiles, are great sources for research interests, courses taught and awarded grants. Interviewing facultymembers is also a great way to learn more about faculty research and teaching needs while buildingfaculty-librarian relationships. Although course syllabi can provide a great snapshot of course informationand types of assignments and even reveal information-seeking behavior which faculty require for theirstudents, accessing course syllabi may need permission and assistance from the departments [1]. Large-scale surveys of faculty may be a great option as they can provide rich information on faculty’sperspectives. For example, the University of Iowa participated in the Ithaka S+R Faculty Survey in 2015and the survey results
courses in the Division of CEM.INTRODUCTION Construction Engineering constitutes a wide range of disciplinary strategies.The Division of Construction Engineering and Management (CEM) at PurdueUniversity has been “preparing undergraduate engineers to serve the constructionindustry as professional engineers and managers” since the late 1970’s withtheoretical and experiential learning objectives. In recent years, it has come to theattention of CEM that a gap exists between these objectives. It is not clear if it is a 1societal gap or industry demand that has created it but industry representatives andstudents alike have voiced their concern. The long-term initiative by CEM is to alignthese objectives

inengineering.The RStudio integrated development environment was used to perform the statistical analysis [8]. All statistical tests were conductedwith an alpha=0.05. A standard t-test is used to compare means. For the odds ratio estimate, the Fisher’s Exact Test for Count Datafrom the R-“stats” package is used[8]. The cohen.d function from the EffSize package estimates the effect size for all t-tests[9]. Thisis a measure of the strength of the difference between means and we use d ≤ 0.2 for a small (S) effect, 0.2 < d ≤ 0.8 is considered amedium (M) effect, and d > 0.8 is a large effect [9]. The statistical power is also estimated using the “pwr” package in R using defaultvalues for all non-required parameters [10]. A comparison of means is

There isalso an expectation that it encourages more female students to enroll in graduate school. Theauthors’ specific findings indicate a positive impact of research experiences on graduateenrollment. Given these findings, the following research questions were formed with respect tothe industrial engineering major: 1. Does having a CURE experience inspire more female industrial engineering students to stay in the major? 2. Does having a CURE experience inspire more female industrial engineer
