Thompson, Virginia Tech Page 22.1463.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 The Hybrid Reference Desk: Changing Strategies for Changing TimesAbstractOver the past several years, the discussion among librarians regarding the fate of the referencedesk has increased in both volume and tempo. The range of opinions has varied, with someadvocating its complete banishment, while others counter that the traditional reference interviewat the reference desk is valid. This case study highlights some of the wanderings and waypointsof our

Some of the Biological and Agricultural Engineering(BAE) and engineering science electives by concentration area are given in Table 2. In addition,the students select from an approved list of courses of biological sciences for each concentrationarea. The remaining elective courses in the Humanities and Social Sciences areas are selectedfrom approved lists to meet the university’s general education requirements.Table 1.

Somewhat related areas where the students did not overwhelmingly feelthat the course contributed towards meeting the ABET goals were:a) an ability to function in multi-disciplinary teams (9)b) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context (4)c) a knowledge of contemporary issues (9)This information was used to help guide the topics to be considered in more detail in subsequentcourses.One clear theme emerged from the students’ comments on how to improve the course.
