Engaging students in evaluation of engineering situation through information literacyAbstractThe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) requires that students inaccredited programs be able to, “recognize ethical and professional responsibilities inengineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact ofengineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts” (2018). Whilecovering the technical content of engineering courses, faculty sometimes forget our students’need to acquire these crucial non-engineering skills as a part of their preparation to enter into theprofession.

Still, it is not common for these skills to be assessed as part of ABET outcomesassessment. Several mappings of information literacy criteria to ABET outcomes are available inprevious work, connecting with several outcomes including lifelong learning, communication,and ethics. Because each institution develops their own set of outcomes, we did not simply adoptanother’s mapping but developed our own based on our understandings of our outcomes criteria.This paper describes our process in developing our information literacy criteria integrated withABET
