program, we adopteda team approach, pulling together internal library collaborators from across various instruction,management, technology, and engineering subject expertise. A librarian with a strong interest inemerging technologies and instructional design served as project manager to coordinatetechnology identification, instructional design, and development of the online learning materials.Library administrators contributed to policy issues in order to build the teams and to identify thefunding for needed equipment. Library subject experts and liaisons prepared the instructionalmodules and provide day-to-day support for student questions. Our e-learning librarian led thedevelopment of instructional modules for general information tasks such as
appropriate due to the advancedmathematics and science requirements for the courses. However, the argument of this paper isthat the current topical coverage of an engineering economics course satisfies the requirementsfor social and/or behavioral sciences recognition because it provides necessary skills inquantitative and financial literacy with respect to decision making. This argument follows thepatterns and urgencies for increasing K-12 standards in mathematics in support of a thrivingfuture science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce.Other key arguments of note: Economic and social progress is an outcome of engineering change and application. It is estimated that 75-88% of all wealth creation is attributed to the
‘military engineering ethics.’Engineering education interfaces with the military in three key ways: (1) students being educatedto become commissioned military officers at U.S. service academies and other institutions viaROTC programs, who are majoring in engineering; (2) military veterans as ‘non-traditionalstudents’ earning engineering degrees; and (3) engineering students who will work on defenseand/or military-related technology. Key facets of these three groups are discussed below.The U.S. government’s service academies all award engineering degrees. As well, ROTCprograms are present at “over 1700 college and universities” [23]. Thus, a number of engineeringstudents are simultaneously receiving formal education for two professions. “Doctors

In response to a campus-wide call forproject ideas, the university's Library and Information Technology (L&IT) group responded andsuggested the idea of creating a smartphone app for walkers of the campus’ Poetry Path project.In the coming pages, we will explore this collaboration and the results of this work.The Stadler Center for Poetry and the Poetry PathFormally established in 1988, the Stadler Center for Poetry is

librarians andinstructors would benefit from gaining insight into how best to prepare students for a globalworkplace with unknown constraints and limited information resources.IntroductionSince the mid 1990s, information technologies have become ubiquitous in the workplace, in thehome, and in academe, and the subject of information literacy has become central to discussionsof pedagogy. How information literacy has been variously manifested among the academicdisciplines has, in turn, become the focus of recent research. Kerins, Madden, and Fulton 1, forinstance, compare information-seeking behaviours of Irish engineering students and Irish lawstudents. Ercegovac 2 has gone on to posit that more work needs to be done on ascertaininginformation-seeking
career options, their knowledge about the higher educationneeded to support their career goals, and how to choose and apply to an appropriate college. Inparticular, prospective first generation college students from regions with low socioeconomicstatus (SES) often lack the knowledge of college-career connections and college applicationprocesses that is taken for granted by many non-first generation college-bound students who arenot low SES7. This knowledge gap may contribute to high numbers of high school students inthese regions saying they plan to attend college but not actually attending. The knowledge maybe particularly important for first generation college students wishing to enter science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers6

In thesesettings, electrical technologies are combined with other technologies inside one overall system. Webelieve that an essential component of the electrical emphasis area in this setting is an understandingof how the electrical portions of mixed systems are designed and fabricated as well as how systemlevel design issues affect and are affected by electrical system implementation.To this end, we have designed and are implementing a three credit-hour course to help studentsdevelop an appreciation for how one chooses between various solution

information, it seems that holding a rosy outlook onthe future of ethics in engineering is quite reasonable.However, we must temper such optimism with an awareness that the ethical issues posed by thescientific and technological advances of the 21st century are more pressing, more complex, andmore immediate than in any previous era. As technology grows more and more embedded inevery aspect of daily life, the need for future engineers to understand their role—andresponsibility—in shaping society exponentially expands. The necessity for a “criticalawareness of the way technology affects society and the way social forces in turn affect theevolution of technology” has never been greater [5]. In other words, efforts must be redoublednot only to expand the
