Another aim of the interdisciplinary PhD program that is not yet infused is a trulycollaborative assignment. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the program, the students in theclass have very diverse engineering backgrounds. This is one of only a few classes where they 13have the opportunity to partner across disciplines within a graduate course.

There may simply be differences in previous IL instruction andpractice opportunities in the education systems in international students’ countries of origin. Thatsaid, the results demonstrate a clear need for more support and practice with the mechanics ofcitation, as well as the ethics of attributing credit for the information being cited. On the otherhand, the graduate students did seem to excel at finding a variety of sources that met theinformation need, and generally selecting high-quality, refereed sources, suggesting a higherlevel of comfort with accessing and selecting scholarly literature

important. Graduate students are likely to beginwith varying levels of understanding of all aspects of critical citation practice and potentiallyeven citation practice in general. So to begin with, educating students on citation equity practiceis important. I propose creating a module, based on the already developed ones described in thepreceding section, but tailored to CEE, which would be a part of the graduate student’scoursework at the beginning of their degree. This module would give a base to all graduatestudents and introduction to critical citation practice. In addition, there are some existingreferences that would make a useful supplement including: • Intersectional Inequalities in Science – A tool to explore citations across field

The authors believe additional research into the topic may prove fruitful indetermining if it is due to curriculum constraints, resource availability, or other variables.Overall, participants affirmed that they “strongly agree” with recommending a course ontechnical standards to early career/new hires as much as to students. However, the responsesadditionally show that individuals at various educational levels would recommend a technicalstandards course to their employers and their colleagues. This information reaffirms that theburden of technical standards education in engineering does not lie solely in academia. Successin technical standards education of the next generation of engineers is contingent on supportfrom and communication between

uneven quality of graduates. A variety of librarian trainingprograms existed with different entrance requirements. Some schools were affiliated withuniversities while others operated within public and state libraries. Only a handful of programsoffered advanced degrees in library science and few library school instructors had advanceddegrees. In 1948, the American Library Association (ALA) passed a resolution calling forlibrarian education at the graduate level only. A few years later, in 1951, new accreditationstandards were established for library schools. During the 1950s and early 60s, the master’s inlibrary science (MLS) became the norm for professional librarians [8].The 1940s also saw improvements to working conditions for academic

The authors employed amulti-database search approach, simultaneously using their institution’s discovery layer,Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) database, Web of Science, and GoogleScholar to search for “belonging and STEM” which returned an overwhelming number of resultsthat were not all applicable. The results were culled using “belonging AND STEM ANDundergraduate student.” After identifying articles central to the topic, the authors used citationchaining to narrow in on related research articles. This research strategy allows researchers theability to review both cited works from an article and works

It is used in educational institutions as a constructivist approach to teach problemsolving skills through a creative and iterative process [5]. There are various frameworks thatexamine design thinking notions, often aligning similar methodologies to facilitate theacquisition of skills in communication and problem solving. In essence, design thinking promptsa group of designers to identify needs and acknowledge experiences of a target audience,generate a problem statement, brainstorm ideas to solve that problem, fabricate a representationof an idea and gain

Other areas for consideration couldinclude guidance on licenses and discussion on the value of sharing data as a collaborativescience practice.

in Higher Education While artificial intelligence (AI) has existed in some form since the 1930s, the pace ofadvancements has accelerated significantly in the last decade. Modern AI is rooted in AlanTuring’s theory of computation, which defined the “Turing machine” as a set of logical rules thatcould, generally, be used to compute solutions to nearly any problem [1]. The set of logical rulesknown as the Turing machine later developed into the concept of neural networks, the backboneof most AI technologies today. Many major AI tools today are pre-trained to use a neuralnetwork to decipher a specified dataset; this automated process is called machine learning. Thispaper will centers on application of a subset of machine learning AI

“researchevaluation” was discussed as the topic continues to develop rapidly. However, the authors didnot articulate any opportunities around research intelligence as a data-driven service; rather, thefocus rested on opportunities around advising and educating others to view research metricsmore comprehensively rather than on a narrow set of metrics. No mention was made of activelyparticipating in a service to aid in strategic decision making, nor building teams around suchservices [2].
