Specific educational outcomes for the program include: 1) Thebroad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global andsocietal context, 2) Recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in, life-long learning,and 3

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.

multiculturalism the phrase “thinking outside of the box”was suggested. This is a very useful metaphor both for multiculturalism and for the kind ofcreative problem-solving that we want to teach in engineering. The best engineering designsolutions often come about by thinking “outside of the box” of our assumptions about theconstraints or ground rules for that problem. Similarly I think the goal of multicultural educationis to enable us to think at least briefly outside of our solipsistic or cultural boxes. III.
