Thisapproach provided librarians with deep knowledge of their liaison area’s research practices, butwas limited in tracking how students, staff, and faculty responded to this exposure [12]. Outside of libraries, numerous studies have interrogated success and failures of specificengineering departments using user-centered models.

Dewey referred to art as an experience between the artist, the work of art and its observer[1]. Each time an observer looks at Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, a new Mona Lisa is born. Art is acontinuum from the germination of an idea to the culmination of a complex creation in its supremeform. Aesthetics is a common thread in this process which is essentially a process of the

Additionally, STEM interest is almost three times higher for boysthan girls1. Female students’ ratio in STEM fields is around 20% all around the world1.
