reports.ConclusionAcademic libraries are the intellectual hubs of their campus, and as such, they also have a role inshaping diversity and the conversation on diversity and inclusion through culturally competentcollection management and hiring and promotion practices. Engineering students and facultyare drawn to the campus library as an information resource. Increasingly the idea of the libraryas place has come to define the ways library administrations design and manage library space,resources, and services. It is essential that either as an information resource or place to study,collaborate or socialize an academic library needs to accessible and welcoming to all users.Engineering librarians and staff who have been trained to meet the diverse needs of

reluctance in granting reciprocity of licensure orof accepting educational equivalencies is understandable seeing that reciprocity even betweenstates is not automatic, especially in such a litigious society.In recent years, the demands of globalization, with many U.S.-based engineering firmsparticipating in design and construction activities overseas, have made it necessary for U.S.-trained engineers to work overseas in larger numbers than ever before. These demands have alsoannually drawn hundreds of overseas-trained engineers to arrive in the United States to contributeto the technological and economic growth of the country. The reality of this situation has been acatalyst for moving the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) to

to properlyincorporate design intent into these new hybrid models while avoiding problems associatedwith the history-based structure that arise from using both feature-based methods and directmanipulation to modify the model1. In some cases the direct interaction afforded by these hybrid systems offers anadvantage for non-CAD specialists in that it is generally more intuitive and very easy tolearn, thus making it easier for students to develop more complex engineering designsquickly. Direct model manipulation eliminates many of the problems associated withtraditional feature-based tools. Engineers and students that may not use CAD on a regularbasis can easily make changes to models without having to fully understand all theconstraints and

Therefore, engineeringgraphics faculty must be efficient in their delivery of course material while ensuring that studentsare learning and understanding the key concepts to engineering graphics.In order to enable faculty to identify key areas of student misconceptions in graphics, we havedeveloped a concept inventory for engineering graphics encompassing line-types, isometric andorthographic projection, scaling, section views, auxiliary views, and dimensioning. A conceptinventory is a highly structured standardized test designed to reveal concepts of high importancealong with student misconceptions about a specific body of knowledge. In addition to revealingstudent misunderstandings, concept inventories are now accepted as an assessment tool
