encourage industry-academia collaborations through offeringworkshops and highlighting divisions such as the College Industry Partnerships Division.However, these collaborations rely heavily on the resources of the academic partner. Thisprompts the question: To what extent is it possible for industry professionals to conductengineering education research without an academic partner? What barriers exist for thoseconducting engineering education research while working in education-adjacent industries? Thiswork in process paper outlines our approach to addressing these research questions by collectingdata from colleagues at two education-adjacent companies. From this research, we hope to gain abetter understanding of how industry members can overcome

Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Lab-Integrated Librarians: Engagement with Unreachable ResearchersAbstractSubject liaison librarians are working at the crossroads of the practical and emerging needs ofresearchers, seeking to connect with them throughout the research life-cycle rather than at thebeginning when literature reviews are conducted or at the end when a scholarly publicationemerges. In STEM disciplines, where research is oftentimes conducted in secure lab facilities,engagement is particularly challenging. In 2016, librarians at North Carolina State Universityembarked on a project to overcome this difficulty by joining selected research groups andattending regular lab meetings.

The study used a thorough interview process of thought leaders inEngineering Education to identify the cutting edge of global engineering education and the stateof the art that is likely to develop in the future. From the MIT report the major challenges listedare: • the alignment between governments and universities in their priorities and vision for engineering education; • the challenge of delivering high-quality, student-centered education to large and diverse student cohorts; • the siloed nature of many engineering schools and universities that inhibits collaboration and cross-disciplinary learning
