In addition, there is a need to integratelibrarians into the learning process in engineering courses by teaching students how to findcredible sources and cite information as well as bringing this awareness of OER to faculty [3].As such, an opportunity has emerged to craft texts and their ancillary materials (e.g., interactivehomework and simulations), with libraries playing a central role in helping foster a communitybetween instructors, students, and other universities and their stakeholders. The pivotal role oflibraries and librarians being central to the project will be a strong asset in the integration ofdifferent stakeholders across and outside universities.Role of

TheNASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) goals include taking “responsibilityfor the intellectual stewardship of the core competencies of aeronautics” which certainly includestheir retention by the workforce. The importance of STEM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics) workforce is paramount to other organizations as well, including the NAE, theAIAA and the AIA.1 There are a number of possible approaches to addressing this challenge. No single one willsolve the problem – it is a systems problem, and the nation needs a systems approach, rangingfrom improving the STEM skills in K-12, to retaining workforce in the aeronautics industry.However

Reflections on Their Learning of Process Engineering Concepts and SkillsAbstractWorkplace learning requires one to be a self-directed learner. Self-reflection provides onewith opportunities to assess their own learning processes. If engineering students were todevelop self-reflection skills in parallel with their domain knowledge and skills acquisition,the transition from highly structured, instructor-led learning to more self-directed learningmight be eased. However, there is little integration of reflection in engineering courseworkthough a few studies have emerged in recent years. The purpose of this work was to classifythe different metacognitive strategies students employed in their reflections so that anassessment for the need

Thequestion is similar to the one using a Likert scale; however, the open-ended version of thequestion came before the closed one to reduce the influence of the pre-selected skills andabilities on the students’ written answers. The responses to these questions were analyzed usinga coding scheme following steps recommended by Creswell [11]. The responses were first readthrough to get a general sense of the data, and were coded during further readings. The codeswere then condensed into themes. No predetermined themes were actively searched for, and thefinal themes uncovered emerged from the data itself.

arrival of information took hold. However, since then people startedthinking about the use of the Internet in more structured formats or ways instead of the complexinformation delivery/gathering inherent with the world-wide “web” concept. People startedfocusing on how to move traditional teaching from in-person to virtual or online1.With that thinking or focusing, the questions of efficiency or even equivalency between in-personand online teaching modalities have emerged. Scholars or researchers engaged into contrastingplusses or minuses (advantages or disadvantages) of the two teaching modalities. According toDrexel University2, there are four benefits for online education: “There are many advantages tovirtual learning that can help you sharpen
