Of CollaborationAbstractCollaborations between engineering faculty and skilled experts outside of engineering properbuild strong undergraduate engineering curricula that clearly emphasize professional skills andABET program outcomes (Criteria 3 d, f, g, h, i,). With shared goals of providing undergraduateswith a rich educational experience in which research, communication and critical thinking arecentral to achievement and to the development of integrity in engineering, such collaborationsproduce an instructional program that readies students for the requirements of continuouslearning and complex analysis essential to a successful, principled engineering career.This paper will describe the contributions to undergraduate engineering education
AC 2009-630: READERS' ADVISORY IN THE ENGINEERING LIBRARYScott Curtis, Linda Hall Library Page 14.1007.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 Readers’ Advisory in the Engineering LibraryAbstractTraditionally, librarians view readers’ advisory (RA) as a public library function, geared towardrecommending fiction and focused around genre studies. This paper argues that an active RAprogram would provide engineering librarians with a tool to help students broaden theirscientific, technical, and social perspectives beyond their course and project work. Manycolleges and universities require student cohorts to participate in campus reading programs; RAin the

By creating descriptive bibliographies(finding aids) that incorporate metadata standards, materials that were once hidden and lost toresearchers, are now easily discovered and used.IntroductionEven without financial pressures on library budgets, collections of technical reports typicallydon’t rank too high on priority lists for processing and inclusion in libraries’ holdings. Technicalreports however, always found their way on library shelves or cabinets where they would be filedfor easy physical browsing and discovery by library users. With the ongoing pressures on libraryspaces resulting in libraries being consolidated and closed, these collections have often ended upin remote storage locations waiting for more
