One of the most significant of these challenges is the need to work within theframework of integrated project delivery where all disciplines work as a cohesive team toproduce a project. In 2004, the Construction Management Department at California PolytechnicState University in San Luis Obispo,CA began teaching a three credit hour design/build coursefocused on integrated project delivery. That course, taught primarily to construction managementstudents, has now evolved into a true interdisciplinary experience that

For example, there are extremely largeprojects (e.g., Keetwonen, Amsterdam1) that utilize more than one thousand containers for thecreation of experimental student living quarters. Similarly, in 2008, in Uxbridge, London, aneight-story, hundred-room Travelodge hotel was built using intermodal shipping containers2.These are just two extreme examples of what can be done by using shipping containers ininnovative ways.

technologies, and a well educated,globally distributed global workforce represent significant challenges to the status quo ofU.S. engineering and engineering education. Meeting these challenges requires atransformation of how engineering is taught. Strong domain knowledge and technicalexpertise no longer make a well-rounded engineer; the rapid pace of change in scienceand engineeringalso requires high levels of ingenuity and adaptivity. Learning scientistsdescribe these dual capabilities as “adaptive expertise” (AE). Adaptive experts areinnovative: they are able to creatively leverage their experience and perform well in noveland fluid situations. They are also efficient: they apply their core taxonomic knowledgeappropriately and expeditiously. Common

The engineering librarian decided to focus onchemical engineering for the first focused engineering guide. The development of the guidebecame an opportunity to invite senior chemical engineering students to participate in suggestingcontent for the guide and to use and critique

This provides a wonderfulnew opportunity for collaboration between the libraries and the ECET department as they wrestlewith the most effective ways to integrate lifelong learning and information literacy throughoutthe curriculum. The liaison’s work on the subcommittee and attendance at the faculty meetingshave provided the groundwork for this library involvement in future course revisions and maywell prove to have the most impact on information literacy as the curriculum is enacted.
