Therefore, while some of the results of our study are not surprising,they provide data that shows the value of the educational experiences that non-faculty librarianscan help to create, and also guide us in making those experiences as impactful, but also asefficiently administered as possible. We contribute to the literature of engineering librarianshipand student outcomes assessment in that the type of projects we review are not widely assessedand reported.Our research is framed in the understanding that project-based learning (PBL) is effective

. In theassociate questions, it is interesting to note that as sophomores, 10% feel proficient at using thefew laws that govern everything (conservation laws) while that number increases to 16% by thejunior year and then falls to zero by the time they enter graduate school. If true, it appears thatstudents become increasingly aware of their inability to solve problems and recognize that theyare not proficient at using even the few laws that govern chemical engineering phenomena.Keep in mind that the seniors and graduate students represent the best of the student body sinceless able students tend to change majors in the sophomore and junior years. Likewise, studentsbecome increasingly aware, as they move through the curriculum, that there are

However, H I foound the enggineers excellled in Patennt andTrade Secret Law for a few court cases reviewed involved knowing issues such a temporarymemory, computer coding, and engineering machine shop practices. On the front of the personteaching the class, I thought very highly of Mr. X. Being an electrical engineer himself, it waseasy to relate with his background knowledge for cases. Furthermore, his background stories ofbeing a Patent Attorney in the Silicon Valley were amazing and quite mind blowing.For students taking the class next year, just remind them that the class is quite harder than theBus.

, Focus Group* *Phase 2 To test how student learning is impacted by the OWLS, the qualitative pretest andposttest survey questions focus on students’ perceived learning. Surveys are commonly used inqualitative research within engineering education to assess participants through the use of openended questions52. The open ended questions seek to gain a greater insight into what componentsor features of the OWLS helped the students to learn most effectively, or which componentswere not effective in the minds of the students. For example, a question asks, “Was the OWLS avaluable tool for learning in this course? If so, how?” This question and others seek to explainthe reasons behind the trends that are observed in the
