failure. In addition, the study explores howstrategies, perspectives, messages and fail word use may be changed after two years ofengineering instruction. Although the use of fail words is still an uncomfortable term in education, it is,increasingly, a part of the popular lexicon. This is driven in large part by the STEM (science,technology, engineering and mathematics) focus brought about by the Department of Educationand its Race to the Top program in 2009, which prioritized STEM teaching and learning.3 Inaddition, the “maker” movement has grown rapidly, bringing the idea of iteration and trial anderror to the general public.4 However, failure in these contexts is largely attributed to genericdescriptions such as “design,” “iteration

Sound and video can be edited to make sure they match. I will often recordnarration first, then match it to video and see whether the video or audio needs shortening.Pauses can easily be removed from audio, and video can easily be time-compressed.Strive to create “clean” sound files without noise. Experiment with microphones andmicrophone placement. Any distracting sound can ruin the credibility of your message. Noise isbad. Small variation in microphone placement will make large differences in the recordedsound. Having the microphone approximately 8 inches away from your lips and pointed 30degrees up

Paragraphs and entire bulleted lists were our units of analysis.With the goal of identifying dominant elements of the engineering profession’s official discourseabout “the public,” we started our review looking for the most frequently recurring ideas inpassages about social groups other than, or broader than, engineers (e.g., “society,” “people,”“communities”). Within these passages, we initially searched for a small set of broad themes thatwe anticipated finding (e.g., characterizations of “the public

Large-scale transformations, involving end-to-endchanges across multiple units and global operations, can span 3-5 years. [3] The costs associated with digital transformation vary significantly based on the size of theorganization. For small organizations, the initial investment typically ranges from $50,000 to$500,000, with ongoing costs of $10,000 to $100,000 annually for maintenance and updates.Medium-sized organizations can expect initial investments of $500,000 to $2,000,000, with annualongoing costs of $100,000 to $500,000.

that many will ask is, does a program like this scale? The answer is that it doesn’t,because it isn’t meant to. We do not see this program as a service -- library services (instruction,access services) attempt to scale to the whole campus population. Embedding in research groupsis more akin to statistical sampling or user research methods, a means of getting some data onwhat users are doing that can help inform decisions and policy on library collections andservices. Viewing this initiative as a needs assessment, rather than a service, informed ourdecision to use ethnography for capturing our impact.
