andestablished as a national committee in 1942, ELD achieved divisional status within ASEE in1967. This year, 2017, marks the 50th anniversary of ELD’s division status and the 75thanniversary of the first Engineering School Libraries Committee. This paper explores the historyof ELD from 1960 to the present. The author’s preceding paper, published in 2016, covered thehistory of librarians in ASEE from 1893 through the 1950s.[1]The history of ELD over the past fifty years has been marked by three major themes or trends.The first trend is rapid and continuous technological change, beginning in the late 1950s, that hastransformed how scientific and technical information is created, disseminated, stored, andretrieved. The 1970s and 1980s was a time of rapid

The portrait of China is changing from the Red Queen inAlice’s Adventures in Wonderland who runs unstoppably to catch up the pace of Western countries(Breznitz & Murphree 2011), into an awakening evil giant who is hurting American interestsand democracy by stealing IP and trade secrets. (FBI Press Conference, December 2018).The technological and economic hostility, unfortunately, have permeated into theuniversity engineering education, including the agency’s new background checks and otherrestrictions on Chinese students (Zengerle & Spetalnick 2018).

According to the EPA, sustainability is “tocreate and maintain conditions, under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony,that permit fulfilling the social, economic, and other requirements of present and futuregenerations”(1). Sustainable engineering is a process of practicing engineering withoutcompromising on the quality of the environment. Sustainable engineering therefore utilizes amultidisciplinary approach of balancing social, economic, and environmental aspirationscombined with good practices of engineering design, thus closing the gap between technology andthe community(2).

In both approaches, the main objective is to improvestudents’ visualization skills, and both courses are offered with the use of software packages.Traditional projection drafting material is referred to as 2D material, and solid modeling materialis referred to as 3D material. The reason for the study is that the trend in the past couple ofdecades, across engineering and engineering technology programs, has been to move from thetypical 2D (drafting) course content to a 3D (solid modeling) course content. Some institutionshave completely switched their approach, and some other institutions now have a hybrid offering(i.e., drafting and solid modeling in the same course). Results from this
