and implementation of technical standards. These challenges are expressed intechnical committee meetings, in office rooms after hiring a new engineering intern, and byeducators across engineering disciplines seeking ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology, Inc.). We hypothesize that the technical standards challenges faced by thecollective engineering profession are similar. A survey about the importance of and challengespresented by technical standards was completed by participants (N = 201) from multipledisciples, educational levels, and backgrounds across the United States. This paper analyzes thewritten responses provided in response to the survey (N = 149). Participant responses highlightseven technical standards

) to gather feedback on what characteristics of an undergraduateengineering technical standard training program are most desired across professional sectors inthe United States nationwide. The survey was distributed across the engineering field to students,academics, industry employees, and government employees through multiple professionalorganizations and societies. Two hundred and one individuals participated in the survey. Theresults show that the engineering field agrees that (1) technical standards should be taught in theundergraduate engineering curriculum, (2) professors teaching undergraduate engineeringcourses have an acceptable knowledge of technical standards, and (3) four-year academicengineering programs do not put sufficient

The key element in this and in most definitions of GL is thatmaterials are not produced by commercial publishers. One implication of this is that there can bemany different types of GL. Indeed, Schöpfel and Farace reproduce a list of 131 differentdocument types originally compiled by GreyNet International, all of which can “contain uniqueand significant scientific and technical information that is often never published elsewhere” [1].While readers might quibble with some of the types of GL compiled by GreyNet International,this list of 131 types serves to

The2022 term had higher averages on several individual rubric items, total rubric score, reportpercentage (grade for final report), and the percentage of graduate students on each team. Thesummer 2021 offering had 14 graduate students of whom 4 were from India, 7 were from China,1 from the Middle East, and 2 from the U.S. In 2022 there were 8 graduate students, with 4 fromIndia, 1 from the Middle East, and 3 from the U.S. Thus, in both terms international graduatestudents made up most of the graduate student population of the course.Table 2

Subjects such as technical writing for engineers could be written by English faculty, which again puts them outside the scope of what we were examining. 4. The resource had to be written primarily for educational rather than research purposes. Some of the resources in the list were books of original open-access research, with each chapter written by a different author that more closely resembled a series of research papers than a textbook. Though these may have educational value in some circumstances, we decided to exclude these resources from our list as the development process would be

Since 2017, this attention mechanism has revolutionized the way that AI functions,creating smarter technologies that better understand language and context. This led to thecreation of LLMs, which have the capability to process text-based data more accurately and,most importantly, almost instantaneously. Seven years later, Transformer is considered “the bestneural network…at present” and is the foundation for the most powerful language AI toolsavailable today [4]. The boom in AI’s capabilities has

Findings from this research indicatethat students increasingly rely on web resources [7], [8] and that librarians have opportunities todo additional work with students to ensure that they are aware of what is available through thelibrary.Some of these conclusions are also found in the research using STEM students’ citations as ameans of assessing information literacy and library instruction.

Are engineering researchers willing to share their data, and 3.What barriers exist for sharing engineering data? Results demonstrate knowledge of andacceptance of open access (OA) practices but when it comes to data, engineering researchers aremore reluctant and less prepared to share their data widely and may need guidance on RDM bestpractices

Several studies correlate the quality of a searcher’s mental model of a query with thequality of their search results. Whether the mental models are “robust,” “strong,” or “immature,”researchers have found that the degree of effectiveness or success with search is dependent onthe completeness or maturity of the searchers’ mental models [1], [2], [3]. In addition, there areage-related differences in search mental models that affect how search techniques have evolved[4].
