First, many engineers move intomanagement type positions within 5 years after graduation and utilize little to none of thetechnical material provided during their academic experience. They become what some havedescribed as “paper shufflers”. The second problem is an outgrowth of the first. The intelligentengineer, realizing the first problem, scuttles any plans for an advanced

review. The more information about the building or site, the smoother process of creating the models will be. The second recommendation for literature review is to try to find floor plans and elevations with graphic scales. This allows you to enlarge or reduce the drawings as necessary without distorting the dimensions. Dimensions are critical for creating a more accurate 3-D model. Therefore, to obtaining sufficient and accurate dimensions becomes a key for a successful reconstruction process. 2. Computational geometry analysis on floor plans and elevations – this step serves as verifications for uncertain data such as dimensions and missing portions of the structure.

Integrating construction guidelines with other sustainability guidelines is anessential part of the whole building design process. To develop and implement theguidelines, the contractor must work with the team, including the architect, engineers,and contractors.

Assessing Information Literacy in Engineering: Integrating a College-wide program with ABET-driven assessmentAs part of a college-wide effort, the Picker Engineering Program at Smith College developed acurriculum-integrated information literacy plan, and adopted information literacy criteria drawnfrom ACRL standards and faculty input. A review of the plan with an eye to assessment as wellas a revision of our ABET outcomes criteria and assessment plan led us to a second round ofinformation literacy criteria development. We sought to integrate the information literacyassessment plan with the overall ABET assessment plan for engineering.
