At Pennsylvania State University Libraries (PSUL), engineering librarians fill invarious roles related to standards and as teaching partners. Librarians are faculty, which comes with theneed to research and publish to reach tenure. This makes them motivated research partners in theengineering classroom and a source of future collaboration opportunities.

This pilot studyseeks to answer one research question. How are in-person and remote online engineeringlaboratories experienced by 21st century students? A qualitative Participant ObservationResearch Approach was used to observe and analyze the laboratory design, instruction, room andequipment layout, and student interactions (with each other, instructor, and equipment) duringtwo labs.

It may not be practical to cater toindividual group of students within a course, but the study should systematically measurethe change in learning outcomes based on stepwise change in teaching styles. This casestudy meant to be used for a pilot program for a broader study involving students in theother disciplines of engineering technologies.Bibliography 1.

(It is perhaps ironic to point out that biomedical engineers are nottypically licensed, and in any case, licenses are typically not required for engineers to teach inacademia.) Looking inward towards the academy, practicing academic integrity during students’formative educational years is often thought of as an engineer’s first steps into the professionalengineering scene. However, such academic integrity practice does not always go well. As notedby the academic integrity scholar Bertram Gallant (2021), academic integrity violations bystudents arise out of “breakdowns in the moral obligations supply chain
