thefuture.IntroductionEngineering design, defined by ABET [1], “is a process of devising a system, component, orprocess to meet desired needs and specifications within constraints. It is an iterative, creative,decision-making process in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences areapplied to convert resources into solutions. Engineering design involves identifyingopportunities, developing requirements, performing analysis and synthesis, generating multiplesolutions, evaluating solutions against requirements, considering risks, and making trade-offs toobtain a high-quality solution under the given circumstances. For illustrative purposes only,examples of possible constraints include accessibility, aesthetics, codes, constructability, cost,ergonomics

While it is still a work in progress, the authors wanted to focus onthe methodology chosen to undertake this study, as well as the current status of the researchbeing conducted. The topic itself arose from several conversations at the 2019 ASEE conferencein Tampa where the authors were curious about the landscape of engineering librarianshippublications, focusing on what research methods were typically being used by engineeringlibrarians in their research and how appropriate and well were these approaches being explained.Explorations of the types of studies typically conducted by librarians has been discussed, studiedand editorialized from many years [1]–[4] but the focus in most of the papers examined seemedto be

These activities can begrouped in the following seven modules: Laboratory Safety, Circuit Simulations, Circuit Testing,Benchtop equipment, Soldering, Autonomous car, and Design of Experiments. These moduleswere designed, implemented, and developed. Each module consisted of one or more laboratoryexercises. Table 1 lists the 12 labs along with brief description.

Learning Objectives (LOs) arewritten statements that describe specific competency in knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs)that students are expected to demonstrate [2] in a course. They are typically introduced tostudents at the start of a class session, unit, or assignment to frame the intended learning.

-efficacy, lack of engineering identity, and low perceived levels of careerpreparedness have all been shown to play a major role in the loss of potential engineers [1]-[3].One factor that may be contributing to this dilemma is that many engineering programs focus onteaching only technical knowledge rather than a combination of technical and professional skillsand empathetic design. Students in such programs are often left feeling unprepared to work in aprofessional business environment where they are tasked with creating effective solutions forreal customers [4]-[5]. To promote more confidence in engineering students and improvestudents’ success in engineering careers, many degree programs have explored the incorporationof entrepreneurial

more likely to pursue challenges and overcome obstacles [1, Part II]. Sinceinternships may help students develop the expectation that they can succeed in industry after graduation,it is reasonable to expect that they may boost students’ motivation to succeed in their courses and toseek help from others to facilitate this success. Research on motivation has relied to a great extent on self-reported measures of motivation, as it isoften assumed that individuals are aware of their source of motivation [2]. In self-reported measures ofmotivation, participants generally use a Likert-scale format to respond to questions on self-descriptivestatements of attitude or behavior. Self-report measures often focus on multiple aspects of motivation
