Developing astrategy to approach this problem involves several aspects that need to be carefully considered ifwe are to understand, plan, and successfully achieve our goal.Such a journey is a call to us to explore what we know and what we need to know about climbingthe mountain. We have our preconceived notions and prior knowledge of climbing mountains, butwe are challenged to increase our consciousness about the problem so that we may take ownershipof the problem. We need to decide on how we will comprehend what we don’t know. Once, ourqualitative mindset can recall the references of our prior experiences in our structures ofassumptions. Then, we begin listing our ideas of possible ways to reach our goal.As the journey is set to be time-sensitive

determining and teaching bestpractice make at least three important contributions to science and engineering education. First,they offer students a contextualized experience for cumulative knowledge-building and then anopportunity to present that knowledge in ways consistent with a vertical knowledge structure thatthe community of scientists and engineers both understands and values. Second, too often labnotebooks are trivialized as simple recounts. That may provide some explanation for the lack ofguidance. But, as we see in Jaun’s entry, notebooks can serve several purposes, e.g., planning,problem-solving, realizing the best possible solution (rather than the ‘right’ solution typical ofhomework problem sets) – actual knowledge practices critical to

For example, given aparticular business situation, is a student more inclined to “jump right in” or will they study theunderlying fundamentals of the market opportunity and take a more measured approach.The trend in teaching undergraduates in a technical setting has certainly veered away fromdevelopment of full business plans to a more action-centered approach.

This works well for this exercise because groups will be ableto advance more toward identifying the key parameters and then finding the right equations whenworking with other students who also understand that same geometry fairly well. Because in thisactivity we are asking the students to explore the material on their own and for the first time,homogeneous grouping will likely lead to more success than heterogeneous grouping.

Her direction from the start was in first attempting to uncover andknit together existing users and user-groups, existing user skills and existing spatial interests andcommonalities. The difference between what was originally described and how the approachwas actually taken is of interest not only as a model for GIS practices in a library but for broaderdevelopment of inter-disciplinary work across the library and university.The position was initially developed to provide leadership in planning, developing and managinginterdisciplinary GIS services, instruction, programs and collections. This was re-focused by
