was high (95.3%), it was not perfect. We were unable to obtainthree books. Of these, two were different editions of Moran et al., which we substituted using the6th edition. The final unobtained book was a textbook on combustion by Turns (ISBN:9781260477696). Given the small fraction of the corpus that this single book represents, thisomission does not seriously threaten the external validity of our findings.While reserve lists reflect an important aspect of curricula, textbooks are only an approximationof the curriculum as-taught and as-intended. Textbooks are often only partly aligned with theteaching goals of a particular class; in some cases, there is no textbook that reflects the content ofa course. Given this approximate alignment, our

modules developed to support different levels of researcher and student atUMD. The presentation was well received and, some faculty in the CEE department wish toexplore ways to further integrate equitable citation practice into their graduate curriculum.Assignment ProposalAfter the presentation on citational justice, faculty in the CEE department became interested inintegrating critical citation practice into their graduate student’s research requirements. One ofthe faculty members developed a short reflective assignment for the graduate students theyadvise to complete. Included in this assignment was identifying who is most cited in the field,analyzing their identities, and reflecting on identities that were underrepresented or missing.After

of fourteen undergraduate College of Engineering and College of Sciences and Arts students’ answers to Q1: What do you think are 3-5 hard things about searching? And Q2: Which ones are cognitively complex? (star) Why? To create this study’s task diagram shown in Fig. 1, we first systematically workedthrough the answers to Q1 and sorted the data into categories. Although the words used todescribe the challenging aspects of search differed slightly among participants, the top-levelcategories reflect the common themes as analyzed by the author. Following best practices for thistechnique, we made multiple passes through the data in case new insights popped out [6]. Wethen placed the final categories at the top level of the

and survey findings indicated that students were looking for a natural feel in thespace, with plants and more neutral tones. Students wanted to be able to have some privacy whenthey work but they also want to feel the comfort and energy of having other users around them.The ideal space would “feel more authentic” or, in design terms, reflect a use of natural lighting,more live plants, natural materials used in décor and lighting that can be managed by the studentin the space (dimmers, lamps, windows with blinds). This was a theme that prior research hadfound in the MSL, but our work further explored and revealed how important this element is.The results from this study were used in the MSL fourth and fifth floor renovations which beganin

The rubric scoring criteria were revised to reflect this emphasis, andall scores for that outcome were updated to reflect the updated rubric (see Appendix A).The final ratings were then combined into a total rubric score. Course scores for each report, as apercentage of the total possible score, and the percentage of graduate students on each team werecomputed as well in order to compare the final data from the two semesters in the sample. Two-sample t-tests assuming unequal variances were used to look for statistical differences betweenoutcomes for the Summer 2021 and Summer 2022 data. As no significant differences wereidentified, average scores for each rubric outcome were

Since 36 journal titles that were not on the list wereretrieved because of a loose phrase (quotation marks around the words to allow for wildcards andlemmatization) in the search, 8,224 records of these journal titles were removed, resulting in93,982 records.Next, EIDs (Scopus assigned unique academic work identifiers) of records were uploaded toSciVal for generating research topics. SciVal defined that a publication belongs to only one“topic” [6] which is composed of three controlled terms. The author separated the "topic” intothree terms to reflect
