reason(s) would you give to recommend students participate in projects found onsocialcoder.org?What reason(s) would you give to recommend students not participate in projects found onsocialcoder.org?Students generally answered the first question with a variation of ”it is a potential source ofprojects where you can gain experience”.In the second question, the students made notes about the relative lack of project choices, and thelack of communication from the project leaders.The question of why there is a contradiction between these two statements stems from two factors.The first factor was simply the number of projects that the students could apply to. While studentswere allowed to view approximately 20 projects, fewer than 10 were accepting

Google Drive. This practice had several majorbenefits. The most important impact of this practice was that the knowledge and experiencestudent gained in their project accumulated and stored in a single location. The students workingon the same topic had access to the folder as well as the instructor(s). When new students startedto work on the same topic, the Google Drive folder from past teams was shared with them andthey had access to everything the previous team(s) had done and used.The final overall course assessment was according to the following items:  Proposal 15%  Interim report 15%  Final report 30%  Progress reports or meetings 20%  Poster

students’ knowledge about sustainable engineering:  Question 1: What does sustainability mean to you now? How do you define sustainability?  Question 2: Who can contribute to sustainability? In what way(s)?  Question 3: What can engineers do for sustainability?  Question 4: What sustainable engineering design tool/principle do you know?  Question 5: Have you heard of any individual or organization take any initiatives for sustainability? If yes, explain the details.The answers before and after showed an obvious progress in students’ knowledge ofsustainability and sustainable engineering approaches. Overall, at the beginning of the semester,a lot of students had the very limited knowledge of all of the questions

By using anunderexplored mixed methods approach to data analysis, we respond to Bryman’s request thatthe community more broadly incorporate mixing strategies in data analysis [19]. We also followKajfez and Creamer’s suggestions by making explicit our purpose for mixing, emphasizing thealignment between this mixed methods approach and our research questions [18].BackgroundThe Rising Sophomore Abroad

and potential collaborationbetween engineering librarians and mechanical engineering faculty. For the course in this study,the plan for next year will be to use these instructional activities again. It also has started thediscussion of where additional library collaboration earlier in the mechanical engineeringprogram would be appropriate and beneficial. This additional exposure and training will buildfamiliarity with information fluency skills, which may be perceived as difficult, but are essentialin the professional environment.Works Cited[1] G.
