At present, theengineering move is about 75% complete.Library support at NC State is fairly centralized for a university of its size, with two majorresearch library buildings (one on the historic main campus and one on Centennial Campus) andthree small branch libraries. The library on Centennial Campus, the James B. Hunt Jr. Library, isa recent addition to the University, opening in 2013. Thus, for most of its existence, CentennialCampus had no central library and NC State has never had a dedicated library for engineeringstudents and faculty.Evolution of a Service ModelIn 1998, subject librarians for engineering and textiles began to work on a model for deliveringlibrary services to engineering

They worked in groups of 4-6 students each, with supervision and assistance fromtheir instructor and one undergraduate TA. Preliminary analysis of student submittedinfographics from fall 2015 showed that students interpreted the assignment and the purpose oftheir infographics in a wide variety of ways. Most students relied heavily on limited, pre-madetemplates for generating their infographics, worked with only minimal guidance and a verysimple rubric provided by instructors (see Appendix B), and may have seen this project as a veryminor segment of their overall final project.

I chose this method since it allowed the students to more easily see theconnections between what they did in a previous lab using schematic capture to the Verilogstatements they were writing. Specifically, it gave them a one-to-one correlation between the gatesin schematic capture and the corresponding software-like statement in Verilog. Additionally, I givethe students a lecture on Verilog during the lab session before they start implementation. Thislecture covers the basic syntax including gates, operators, modules, etc. and also how to make atest bench to simulate their designs. Figure 3 shows the segment B
