Government and industryfunding has increased to create additional and customized standards content for universitiesnationwide [7]. Standards organizations started and continue to create educational content on thesubject at hand. This content can be accessed free of charge or for a small fee via variouseLearning programs [8, 9, 10, 11]. Likewise, universities have taken it upon themselves to createtechnical standards training modules, workshops, and events into their curriculum and courses[12, 13, 14, 15

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

libraryresearch: a) deciding which terms to use, b) knowing if they are searching in the right place, c)examining each article to weed out less relevant articles, and d) evaluating the quality of asource. Our findings reveal a sizable disconnect between what librarians may expect are basicelements of the search process and what students experience as cognitively complex. This has important implications for current information literacy (IL) education. Thecognitive complexities revealed in this study identify potential gaps in how academic searchingis taught. The Google-centric searching behavior mentioned earlier, and cast in a somewhatnegative light, doubles as a wealth of experience and knowledge that students bring into theclassroom. Instead of

authors of this paper use thissentiment as the basis for equipping first-year engineering students early on with AI literacy, as itis an important part of their education.Theoretical Foundation: AI Literacy AI literacy was a term first coined in 2015 by Yoko Konishi as the ability to recognizethe advantages and limitations of AI and the use of these new technologies with caution [8]. Inthe spirit of this definition, many educators and professionals have explored the concept of AIliteracy with a relatively critical attitude. In 2020, educators at the Georgia Institute ofTechnology proposed a new definition that, not only promotes critical evaluation of AI tools, butalso encourages the use of AI in communication and collaboration in all

popularity in higher education. McMonigle utilized Nearpod for information literacyinstruction for engineering students [6]. The paper referenced the Association for College andResearch Libraries’ (ACRL) “Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education” (hereinreferred to as the Framework) [7]. The Framework is comprised of six core concepts that libraryinstructions should include. McMonigle states that Concept 6, “Searching as StrategicExploration” is what is most relevant to the task of database use. It was this thinking thatinfluenced McMonigle to explore using Nearpod to make information literacy instruction moreinteractive while also leveraging various technologies that students use (laptops, tablets, andsmartphones).Romero Rodriguez

We also asked whetherinstructors are selecting materials based on accessibility, diversity of format types, representationof a variety of identities within STEM professions, or other criteria. We asked what informationresources are consulted when instructors select instructional materials. Using qualitative codinganalysis of free text responses, we identified several themes in the data that will help librariansand publishers to find, curate, and advertise more useful materials for STEM course

Such feelings have been shown toincrease disabled students’ and scholars’ success and engagement in their field [18], [70]. JoannaWest [2022] argues that this sense of belonging is the “emotional counterpart to inclusion” andthat without this feeling, students do not believe that they are accepted by others or that they areheard, respected, or understood. West notes that a student’s sense of belonging creates a positiveeducational
