Of the N=712 responses, N=209 were matched responses (students completed atleast one question on both the pre- and post-survey). These matched survey data anddemographic information (gender) have been used to evaluate the change in
Experiences in World War IIGiven that World War II ended only a few years before the Directory was compiled, it is notsurprising that many engineering library staff were veterans or had worked in positions thatsupported the war effort. Although men were more likely to serve in the armed forces, womenalso served in various roles.U.S. Army veterans included Harry C. Bauer, Director of Libraries at the University ofWashington from 1947-59. Bauer served from 1942-45 as a combat intelligence officer in theU.S. Army Air Forces and was awarded a Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and Air Medal. HowardHovelstad, Acting Director of Libraries at the University of Maryland, served from 1943-46.John S. Mehler, Librarian, University of Alaska served from 1941-46. Charles

This study investigated which component(s) the survey claimed to measure, and towhich construct, self-concept or self-efficacy, the component was described to represent. Thecomponents and their associated construct(s) are listed in the results. Although the search waslimited to papers assessing self-concept, the search revealed papers that measured self-efficacyusing scales that the authors described as self-concept.

Unsurprisingly, the first student outcome for ABETaccredited engineering programs is “an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complexengineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics (p. 5).[14] However, other standards emphasize the importance of social awareness and interpersonalcommunication to the modern practice of engineering.

(Lichtenstein & Plowman, 2009;Sullivan & Pines, 2016). It is a shared discipline of collective action. As participants follow thesesimple rules, new interactions take place and new outcomes emerge. Using simple, but not easyquestions, participants develop both a shared outcome and a project to move toward theiroutcome. The project represents a short-term experiment. Participants learn whether they canmove toward their shared outcome through the collective action they design. The process isiterative: as they learn, they move forward to complete some projects, adjust others and keepgoing, and take on new projects to reach their identified strategic outcome(s).

theworkforce [6]. There are many explanations of individual excellence and entrepreneurialmindset [7,8, 9] and multiple studies about engineering students [10,11,12] with an emphasison a high need for achievement and potential for break-through innovation [13]. Since the late1990’s engineers and designers have been exploring moods and feelings and their connectionto better solutions [14]. And while research links entrepreneurial status to personality theory[15] and personality to leadership [16], few studies focus on the impact of emotion oninnovative success. This paper aims to begin filling that gap with a preliminary experiment toshow how students experience a story of innovation. The experiment is inspired by Radcliffe President Mattina

Each survey took less than20 minutes to complete and gathered demographic information including age, genderidentification, race/ethnicity, and intended major(s)/minor(s). Survey 1 and Survey 3 consisted offour parts: self-ranking of technical skills competency (beginner, intermediate, advanced, orexpert), self-ranking of confidence in essential parts of the engineering design process using a five-point Likert scale (Figure 3), degree of agreement with statements related to general engineeringself-efficacy using a five-point Likert scale (Figure 4), and open-ended questions related to thosetopics.

Inside theclassroom, there were opportunities to create an inclusive environment by how the educatorsinteracted with students and how they conducted themselves when students were present andteaching was in action. Finally, educators also talked about what things they thought about orconsidered (mindsets), similar to Integrity of practice, in that educators had a reason for theirpractices [4] when doing any preparation or working with students. Practices are found in Table1 with the following codes: ● CS- Inside Classroom- with Students ● CE- Inside Classroom- by Educators ● OC- Outside the Classroom ● IP- Integrity

Specifically, the “teamwork andcollaboration skills” and “intent to persist” constructs demonstrated good internal consistencywhen previously validated in middle school samples, with Cronbach’s alphas of 0.88 and 0.86,respectively [7], [21].

widely used approach in qualitative research, was used in this study toidentify, analyze, and report patterns within data [26]. As described by Braun and Clarke [26],“[a] theme captures something important about the data in relation to the research question andrepresents some level of patterned response or meaning within the data set” (p. 82).Data coding: ATLAS.ti was the platform used for this study to generate, and organize the codes.After verbatim transcription, the data was systematically coded. In particular, we identified partsof the texts where participants referred to particular events and stories related to ethics andequity. Then, we developed codes for each identified story to capture the main issue(s) that wereraised. This was done by
importance, but did not studythe actual use of these collections or services. For example, while 69% of faculty in their studyindicated that library databases were important or very important, there was no correspondingassessment of these faculty members' actual use of library databases.A multi-institution interview study organized by Ithaka S+R of civil and environmentalengineering faculty found that researchers preferred to use Google and Google Scholar for arange of information needs including finding datasets, gray literature, and scholarly articles(Cooper et al., 2019). Similarly, in an interview-based study with early career life sciences andengineering faculty at a single institution, researchers found that faculty in their study
