Let’s Get Students More Involved! -- Experiences from the Collaboration between the IEEE University Partnership Program and Chinese LibrariesAbstractInvolving students is not uncommon in university libraries. Students can greatly reducelibrarians’ workload, provide peer reference services, and change the image of librarians to thepublic. With the prevalence of e-resources, more users choose to work from their ownworkplaces and reduce their visits to physical libraries. To understand actual needs of end usersand offer better services in this digital era, it is very important for librarians to reach out tostudents and work with them closely in their routine work. However, it is quite challenging toidentify student

By analyzing the current state of sustainability education atRHIT and its relevance in meeting the institution's strategic goals, we can pave the way for abrighter and more sustainable future. Upon review of the school’s course catalog, courses werecategorized as fitting into four tiers related to the level of sustainability coverage and thepotential for incorporating sustainability content. Survey data was collected from currentstudents and faculty to assess perceptions of sustainability coverage in courses. Finally, wereviewed sustainability-related degree programs and course offerings at peer institutions toassess how these institutions

This observation approach offers benefits for the studentobservers, instructors, and the overall teaching enhancement mission of institutions. One of themain benefits of student observer programs is that they provide instructors with an opportunity toreceive constructive and formative feedback on their teaching from a different perspective thantheir peers or their students. By observing, recording, and possibly discussing these aspects withthe instructors, student observers can provide authentic insights into the effectiveness of teachingmethods and offer real-time, firsthand constructive feedback for improving

Zoe shared one of her peer mentoring episodes, when my tenure stuff was official, I just did an open invite at a coffee shop away from campus, so it was kind of in a protected place, and I said, “Anybody who wants to come and talk to me, you can ask me anything you want about my process and my experience,” and I gave them a copy of my stuff, and pretty much all the assistant professors showed up. It ended up being like a two-and-a-half-hour-long discussion.In addition, Zoe and a couple of other untenured faculty members engaged in peer mentoringduring their writing sessions at a local coffee shop (see Figure

IEP’s purpose is to provide participants withan overview of all fields in engineering, while giving the students a taste of college life, alook at career opportunities, and a chance to meet professional engineers as well asengineering faculty. Students work on several projects, attend lectures, write reports,code programs, give presentations, do problem solving and design, go on field trips, andinteract with a very diverse group of peers.In this paper we describe the IEP program, and provide an overview of its selectionprocess and its structure and content.

Specifically, the student engineers participating in a seminar course wererequired to read and reflect in writing on Prey by Michael Crichton [3]. To set the stage for thiscase, some of the moral philosophy arguments around the use of fiction are discussedculminating in the conclusion that fiction is an appropriate tool in the teaching of ethics.
