Diversity and inclusiveness are operational values and goals in virtually allUnited States research libraries [5]. Indeed, leaders in academic libraries see themselves aspersonally responsible for encouraging EDI initiatives in their libraries [6].

And based on both student andalumni feedback, the models played a significant role in their learning process.It is the hope of the author that using models helps students better understand structures andbetter understand the role of the architectural engineer. There is no scientific method to proclaimthis is the answer for training young architectural engineering minds about structures andbuilding technology, but in all of the courses the students become engaged when they work withtheir hands and minds in a creative environment. And personally, this is the first hurdle tolearning. If these classes were taught in a pure lecture setting, topics such as tolerances andconcrete finishes could be

In most cases, however, these new methods have been taught and studied inthe graduate schools and have not been easily accessible to wider audiences. To help undergraduate students learn one of these new-proven techniques early in their academiccareers, we developed simple and effective graphical user interface software for genetic algorithms. We startedthis work because we could not easily find a good educational tool to present genetic algorithms toundergraduate students. Our MATLAB-based software allows students to easily explore how geneticalgorithms use the principles of natural selection to solve optimization problems

the curriculum.In 1828, the Institution of Civil Engineers defined engineering as “the art of directinggreat sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man.” 1 By 1956, thisdefinition expanded beyond harnessing physical phenomena to include “application ofknowledge” and “design and production.” 2 What remained consistent however, was theidea that engineering is artfully disposed. This suggests a level of care and understandingthat conjoins thought and feeling. If the transformation of science and technology intoproducts and systems requires empathy or “emotional union,” 3 (i.e., the projection of selfinto objects) then the education and training of engineers should include an understandingof intuitive processing.Engineers must
