The ability to develop a research question isalso an essential information literacy skill that provides focus, strategy, and structure to aresearch paper. Critical thinking, writing and research skills, are important course componentsthat students will continue to develop throughout their academic and professional careers.At New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), a mid-size technology university, the instructorsand university reference librarians collaborated to create a research assignment [1].

Over the following years, students buildon this core material for their specialisation, as well as developing technical andcommunication skills. Throughout the papers there is a strong emphasis on problem solvingand students are encouraged to think creatively.

com world, but it’s not as good for the dotresearch world.The Pedagogical Context: The Technical Communication Class and the CapstonesOne of the dilemmas faced by those of us who teach engineering students is how best tofulfill the requirements mandated by the national accreditation board. In the case oftechnical communication, that means helping our students develop their so-called“professional” skills; that is, communication, team work and lifelong learning skills.Recently, the writing-across-the-curriculum (WAC) and writing-in-the-disciplines (WID)models have approached these requirements by integrating communication within varioustechnical classes. In these models, the communication instructors have some input intoboth curriculum and

courses the instructor teaches, students are required to conduct some sort of literature review related to the course topic. When queried for the first step for information gathering, the students almost always answer “Google it!” or in the best case “Find the related article in Wikipedia!” The other side of the problem is that students do not know how to properly acknowledge others’ work.  It is ironic that in the so called “information age”, we have an “information literacy crisis”. The objective of this project was to add components to the Mechanical Engineering program that would address these fundamental problems in the engineering curriculum.  Currently, there is an immense expansion and broadening of knowledge in

Trends inlibrary literature suggest that students often skip library resources in favor of more familiarsearch strategies used in their daily lives. However, there is significant, positive correlationalevidence which suggests that using the library is closely associated with students’ academicperformance and university retention.

The overall goal is to ensure that students leave the class with an understandingof the entire experimental process from literature review to analyzing results to presenting theirfindings. The specific goals of the course are: • To reinforce the fundamental knowledge of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer students have obtained in prior classes. • To apply both analytical and “hands-on” knowledge to performing fluid and thermal measurements. • To develop student’s ability to design and conduct fluid and thermal measurements. • To develop
