For example, based on the available data, in2009 there was a clear interest in instructional design and active learning, as well as lifelonglearning. The topics listed for 2009 demonstrate a clear impact of the adoption of the ABET’sEngineering Criteria 2000 and their mapping to the ACRL Information Literacy CompetencyStandards for Higher Education.ConclusionsAccording to the collected data, the average number of publications per year is nearly fifteen.

Spanish.How can I support Migrant Students during EPIC as a Lab Instructor? To best support Migrant Students (and all students in EPIC), it is very important that Lab Instructors create an inclusive environment by encouraging respect for and celebration of differences, create a positive learning environment, and allow students to demonstrate their individual knowledge. Here are eight best practices for working with diverse groups of students, including migrant students: 1. Ensure good visuals on presentations that can support students who are English- language learners. Example: Show lab set-ups and activities with pictures in addition to explaining through words. 2. Allow and
