They tendto search for information themselves rather than ask a librarian for assistance [6]. Engineeringstudents participate in both individual and group study on a regular basis but they also engage inmore individual study than non-STEM majors [7].Academic libraries use space studies to understand how their spaces are used by students [8].

During the WOMEN Event, our group hosts 20 to 40 tenth grade females and their parents fromrural areas to further their interest in STEM fields and provide an early start on college planning.Now in its sixth year, the

As a result, many these projects occur as part of academic classes within theirrespective programs. Projects tend to be tailored to meet the needs of different majors, as well asthe current needs of industry and the community. For example, some of these projects maybenefit the community or a company by having students build a product that can be used (e.g., apiece of specialized equipment or a campus bridge). Likewise, these applied products help thestudent gain direct experience (e.g., skills and knowledge) working on a specialized project intheir field of interest (e.g., a

These pedagogical foundations have been used to guidethe development and use of the courseware from the beginning. Of primary use have been theKolb cycle, Bloom’s taxonomy and the concept of scaffolding. In addition, we have attemptedto engage the full breadth of learning styles as illuminated by both the students’ MBTI andVARK scores. In concert with this foundation has been achievement of basic educationalobjectives, which would ensure the success of the desired goals of the project.
