presents opportunities for students to acquire knowledge by askingquestions to exercise observation skills and deductive reasoning [10]. Joseph Schwab, a pioneerof this pedagogy, recommends that students practice inquiry in laboratory instruction beforebeing presented with large amounts of facts through formal explanation [13]. He considers it asan effective way to improve knowledge transference in comparison to traditional laboratoryinstruction that only offers a formal explanation. Students do not need extensive knowledge ofthe subject matter because they learn about it by asking their target users and teachers.Makerspace students used inquiry through HCD to ask questions and used deductive reasoningin order to gain knowledge about the people

often work in laboratory settings –there are significant differences in the nature of their work and education. Pinelli explains thesedifferences in the work of engineers vs. scientists in great detail,3 but for our purposes whatmatters is how this plays out in terms of library use. As users, engineers behave differently thantheir peers in other disciplines. Many of them simply don’t use the library, physically orvirtually, and are unaware of library resources and services. Neither group is known to askreference questions in the traditional sense or request mediated searching. Tenopir states, “Evenwhen they do use a library, engineers like to search for information themselves rather than gothrough a librarian or other intermediary.”4

Whenconfronted with the views of other disciplines on the field of engineering in his reflectionpaper, he was “taken aback by the picture they seemed to be painting of engineers anddesigners throughout the paper. An uneducated reader would imagine the engineer as ahermit locked inside a laboratory, receiving “problems” in the form of papers slid under Page 26.1724.6his door, and zealously working out solutions by distilling the information in theproblems into a set of constraints to be followed like a mathematical formula.” Hefurther evaluates the importance of “ the working with approach” as he articulates therole of

subject from a uniquely pragmatic “top-down” engineering point of view as opposed to the laboratory “bottom-up” mentality of biochemists. Engineers, by nature, are pragmatic problem solvers. Engineering traditionally employs the fruits of scientific research to address and solve practical problems and create the technology that ultimately serves the needs of mankind… In the pursuit of these goals, engineers are often called upon to combine the findings of a number of diverse scientific disciplines in order to arrive at practical solutions and to achieve specific goals. This is the traditional application of engineering principles. But those same principles are eminently suitable for the study

Additionally, online surveys allow geographically distantrespondents to be reached, increasing the population available to be surveyed. This is importantin graduate programs where it is not uncommon for students to leave for days or weeks to go toconferences or perform research in the field or distant laboratories and hence, making it difficultto reach out to these students if survey distribution were done in the traditional way.
