His research interests are in the permeability of coal in relation to stress changes due to desorption, the spontaneous combustion of coal and related heating effects, stability issues related to mineral extraction sites mainly subsidence and slope stability. In the last 5 years he has published over 18 papers (5 in refereed journals) and 29 technical reports. He is also actively
they could alter or adapt workshops in order to best serve this patron group [11]. Inorder to attract students to services, a recent trend in library outreach is gamification [12].Turning orientation or information literacy sessions into games not only entices students toparticipate, but also encourages them to “interact with information for problem solving anddiscovery-based learning when using the library to conduct research for class” [13]. Gamification and project-based learning are very common approaches to education inengineering. Since the engineering discipline is primarily an applied science, experiments andcompetitions challenge students to apply concepts learned in the classroom. Project-basedlearning develops valuable

DMP typically addresses the following major topics: 1) Data that will be created, 2) Datadocumentation and organization, 3) Data storage and security, 4) Data management andpreservation after project completion, and 5) Data accessibility for reuse and sharing. TheseRDM courses typically include a student assignment or term project to develop a DMP. ThisDMP assignment is usually focused on the graduate student’s research project with a goal ofhelping the student manage their research data. While the broad array of RDM education approaches and courses from the literature havefocused on the consensus of teaching graduate students how to write a DMP, there is notconsensus in the RDM courses discussed in the literature over exactly what

setting and in one-on-one and small group sessions.Forming the foundation for engineering students’ research skills is a structured library instructionprogram during their freshman year. But between their freshman and senior years there is noclass required for all engineering students that integrates formal library instruction. For thisreason, by the time they arrive at their senior design projects, students have often forgotten theirresearch skills. Additionally, the library’s electronic resources collection is constantly becomingmore exhaustive, leading to ever increasing challenges in instructing students in informationskills. During the three or four years between receiving formal library instruction, studentssimply fall behind.Drexel’s
PapersLibrarians do not typically have opportunities to assist student engineering teams. Ourinvolvement is usually at the class lecture level. However, if given a chance, librarians are wellequipped to assist students with their research for team projects. A writing assignment in anupper-level engineering core course is a good way for librarians to become immersed in a classand to build relationships with students on a one-to-one and team level. As academicprofessionals, we have various mentors to assist us with job skills, promotion/advancement, andnetworking. Students have similar needs and librarians can be a safe source to discussinformation deficit areas and provide team dynamics coaching.Related LiteratureThe literature has many examples of
, students in this course have been offeredthe option of attending a hands-on library workshop and receiving extra credit on a relatedproject report. Since several hundred students enroll in over 25 sections of this course each fall,the workshop format was developed as an alternative to traditional one-shot library instruction,which is not practicable on this scale. To better assess how the workshops were serving thestudents in these large classes, a group of instructors from the class and the engineering librarianworked together to evaluate student success with research projects and overall informationliteracy within the freshman engineering curriculum. The first initiative was to design a citationstudy assessing submitted projects for quality and
