Students who have difficulty with or fail a fundamental class duringtheir first two years can seriously delay their graduation date or be discouraged from finishingthe degree.

The changing focus of library usage from undergraduatesto graduates students makes sense. The focus in many undergraduate engineering programs is onlearning from textbooks and in laboratory assignments. Graduate students focus more on usingliterature for their research. The main reasons for faculty coming to the library were accessingliterature (72%) and checking out materials (44%).  Students were asked when they usually use the library. Even
