The application is more unique byincorporating a research project design that includes students working with a faculty at theirhome institution as well as collaborating with a second faculty at another university campus.This two-campus design allows the student high-impact interactions with multiple faculty andgraduate students, as well as promotes new faculty collaborations.

Beyond the limitation of the cost-per-use model,there are four main challenges around collection management. First, we engineering librarians havemany responsibilities besides collection management including instruction, reference, public servicesand outreach.

The simplicity of those rubrics does not permit the identification ofdeficiencies in problem solving skills. In this project, a problem solving rubric developed forPhysics students was adapted to assess the problem solving skills of engineering studentsenrolled in a first semester engineering course. Unlike most rubrics used in engineering courses,this rubric grades the thought process, and splits the problem solving approach into separatecategories: Useful Description, Engineering and Math Approach, Application of Engineering,Mathematical Procedures, and Logical Progression.

Engineering components printed by 3-dimensional printers are employed asmechanical structures in an assembly. In order for the printed components to be useful forengineering applications, mechanical properties of printed parts must be known for structuraldesign. The properties provide answers to the strength of the material, the types of stresses acomponent can endure before failure, and the size of a component based on the loads itexperiences. 3D printed materials have recently been studied for their mechanical properties [4,5, 6].

The robot kit is priced at $80 and some students thought that it wasa hefty sum for a kit that was just used once and had no use for them later on.

This is definedby Prince (2004) as activities where students “do meaningful learning activities and think aboutwhat they are doing.” Examples of active learning techniques include group discussion, individualpractice, group-based problem-solving and teaching others. This is contrasted against transmissivemodes of teaching where the instructor projects information that students passively engage with,usually by listening or copying down (Prince
