, often linking this to tasks such as calculations, drawings, or mathematics.12-13Being technical is often deemed the most valuable way of being an engineer and is highlyesteemed in the profession. Yet, engineering requires other professional tasks andactivities that are considered social, soft, or applied in nature, such as managing projects,working in teams, or interfacing with clients. Important to note, as well, is that withinengineering, technical and social dualisms are also often presumed to be mutuallyexclusive. The technical side is often thought to be the something that men excel at, whilethe social side is seen as being particularly suited to women, as the result of widespreadcultural stereotypes about masculinity as being connected to

A 2008literature review concluded that many K-12 engineering education projects lacked data collectionand analysis to provide reliable evidence of learning.1 Design is a complex cognitive process2,3and in the context of K-12 science education, engineering design is a complex cognitive activityin which students learn and apply science concepts to solve open-ended problems withconstraints to meet specified criteria.The complexity, open-endedness, and length of an engineering design process create uniqueopportunities for students to make science connections.

The other part was to be completed by the degreed librarian, if the firm had such a position.For the purposes of this study, the term “degreed librarian” refers to a person with a Masters inLibrary Science (MLS) or its equivalent. A "principal" is often an owner of the firm. Always they are in senior management positions andare in charge of projects. Since a principal would likely have more knowledge of the firm as awhole than a junior engineer, it was decided that a principal should complete a survey.
