Using Mays et al. definition: “[scoping studies] aim to map rapidly the key concepts underpinning a research area and the main sources and types of evidence available, and can be undertaken as stand-alone projects in their own right, especially where an area is complex or has not been reviewed comprehensively before.” [21]This methodology has demonstrated its value when investigating topics or research areaswhere evidence takes a variety of forms thereby making other knowledge synthesismethodologies, like systematic reviews, inappropriate and where a non-systematicliterature review may lack the rigor to make actionable or credible assertions [16].In

improve student outcomes in specific courses. 12-14 In particular, librarian involvement indesign courses has proved to be a successful point of collaboration.15 Additionally, librarianshave developed tools for interacting with faculty around issues of information literacy, includinganalysis of syllabi16 and assignment analysis.17In some cases, librarians have been asked to collaborate in a total curriculum overhaul for adepartment, college, or university. In the case of Hulse et al., a single capstone course wasdesigned with librarian input to meet desired lifelong learning outcomes.10 Macalpine and Uddinintegrated information literacy across four years of design courses at Trinity University.18Similarly, Nerz and Bullard integrated information

courses in a curriculum contributeto and assess that student outcome. While information is explicitly mentioned in the studentoutcome, it appears to frequently be marginalized in the actual assessments used byMETdepartments. Implications for librarian engagement with mechanical engineeringtechnology programs and sources are discussed.IntroductionOne way librarians can make the case for information literacy in engineering and engineeringtechnology disciplines is to tie their work into student outcomes specified for ABETaccreditation. For engineering accredited programs (EAC), there is not a direct link toinformation literacy. Rather, librarians have traditionally linked information literacy to lifelonglearning, although Riley [1] and Sapp and

ASME offers courses tailored to the needs of industryprofessionals.Standards integration in capstone projects requires engineering students to have previousknowledge of standards and standards resources. Despite being identified as the most effectiveway to introduce standards to engineering students [6]–[9], curricular integration of standardstraining is still uncommon [10]. The main reasons for this state are: (1) development of newcourses and implementation of curricular changes are challenging, (2) highly intensive trainingassociated with engineering curriculum leaves little time

Considering that individualstudents approach the librarians for instruction on topics such as strategies for literature reviews,or that individual faculty members approach the librarians for instruction to the students in theirlabs on topics such as best resources for researching specific subjects or instruction on citationmanagement applications, one might reasonably conclude that there is an unmet need for a broadinstruction program.

Electrical Engineering majors usually take a differentintroductory course, except during the Fall 2017 semester, when all three engineering majorswere combined due to a sabbatical. The course includes two days of lecture per week with ahands-on lab on the third class meeting of the week. The engineering majors are combined intointerdisciplinary teams on lab day to complete a project creating a fully operational windmill.Background: library involvement with mindfulness and engineering students An assortment of mindfulness and sustainability initiatives began at the library

However, the curriculum does notspecifically focus on information literacy or question formulation. Yet, as in our experience withFED101, other engineering educators have found that students are still lacking the logical andcritical thinking skills that are required to develop a compelling inquiry of a topic, and havedifficulty performing effective information searches [14, 16].

; inability to come back and focus on topics that are more difficult tothe student than others; and lack of time to engage with individual students [17].Better use of information technologies to teach information literacy skills seems to be a feasibleoption when it comes to the growing pressure of spending less time in the classroom but stilleffectively teaching ILI to students. Hanbidge et al. [18] proposed that while “inclusion ofinformation literacy in undergraduate curricula often remains an aspiration rather than a fullyrealized ideal,” various forms of e-teaching (including mobile learning) can be an effective way toincorporate ILI into the undergraduate curriculum.
