The unit of study was designed to compare thedifferences in student confidence in information literacy skills and the research process betweencourses that had five instructional sessions from an embedded librarian versus courses that wereonly provided with one information literacy instructional session. The idea was to investigate theimpact of an increased presence of the engineering librarian within the courses and assess thebenefits of providing first-year engineering students with more opportunities to learn from theengineering librarian with focused sessions.In addition, the researchers wanted to connect first-year engineering students with faculty in

In the pastthree programs, K-5 educators were assigned to different labs in the University of Florida’sHerbert Wertheim College of Engineering. They were mentored by graduate students with avariety of research themes. For example, some labs focused on tissue mechanics and cellularprocesses, some worked on biomedical applications of magnetic micro-and nanoparticles, andsome studied engineering solutions that reduce wind damage to buildings from hurricanes.
