description. For example, “it is both mandatory and extremely helpful” and “b/c itwas very beneficial and gave us guidance.” The next most prevalent specific reason was for helpwith their topic (24; 16%). For example, “librarians are great at helping narrow down a topic tosomething we can reasonably write about” and “it helped focus our efforts in finding a topic.”The only reasons provided for not scheduling an appointment were graduating and beingcomfortable with databases.Discussion The students’ feedback was important in assessing teaching effectiveness and consideringfuture changes on consultations. In the fall 2018 questionnaire, the subject librarian wanted toknow if a library session was needed prior to this class. During some

time to answer requestsfor this information.I also identified the liaison librarian to Mechanical Engineering Technology from eachinstitution, by searching the institution’s library web site. Where an explicit MET liaison wasnot indicated, a likely candidate was identified (e.g., if there was only one STEM librarian in thelibrary), and as a last choice, the library director was identified as the point of contact. A surveywas distributed to the so-identified library representative of each institution, using the Qualtricssurvey program (see Appendix B). An email invitation to the survey was sent as well as onereminder.The information provided by MET departments varied in depth and type, so a systematicanalysis was challenging. Thus, the results

Thiscomparison led to the modification of codes for 23 of the 622 citations or 3.7%.The authors, one of which was the instructor for the course during the three year period, alsoevaluated the theory section of each report for completeness, accuracy, as well as clarity anddepth using a rubric (Appendix B). For each year and topic, the reports were divided into threegroupings based on the rubric assessment scores: top, middle, and bottom third. The division intothirds was done by the population, meaning that the scores that define each group may havevaried from year to year or report to report. Each group consisted of approximately 35 studentsover the three year period. Using

Both surveys asked them to rate (on a scale from 1-5) their current orexpected future confidence and proficiency, defined here as students’ being able to identify theirown educational needs and also being able to develop ways to maintain their competence in thediscipline [3]. For lifelong learning, specifically, we asked students to identify personal areas ofstrengths and weaknesses; different ways to develop the strengths and eliminate the weaknesses;ways to develop broader knowledge; and ways to apply critical inquiry and analysis toengineering problems and to the communications that support the engineering work.

Whilegauging confidence with resources is not a definitive sign of effective instruction, we feltconfidence in finding and using resources relates to comfort level in using the literature. Beyondnon-identifiable demographic data, the post-survey included a Likert scale question on findingresources, identical to the pre-survey question.Over the two and a half year timespan of research, we utilized two versions of the pre- and post-survey.
