robots and introduce them to the technician associated with the facility. The resultat the end of a semester was usually an impressive stacking or sorting program on one of theyellow Fanuc robots in this facility. The technician would introduce them to the Fanuc trainingmanual (from the Fanuc School series4 and they would achieve a commendable outcome in asingle semester. Impressive!Then, there were purchased a number of the yellow Fanuc robots by our institution and two ofour number (myself included) had training on these robots with the possibility of teaching acertified course on Fanuc. The other individual completed the certification and the courses(Robotics and Robotics with Vision) became staples in the curriculum. The local

moreclosely with academic and professional goals.Through an analysis of survey data, external benchmarking, and faculty-library collaboration, thispaper highlights the strategic role libraries can play in engineering education. By integrating libraryresources and expertise into faculty teaching practices, libraries can help foster student-centeredlearning environments that emphasize high-impact educational practices. This paper providespractical recommendations for faculty and librarians seeking to advance PBL, interdisciplinarycollaboration, and the transition from academia to industry, illustrating how libraries can serve askey partners in engineering education.
