undergraduate curriculum. Two specific criteria of the Accreditation Boardfor Engineering and Technology (ABET) such as the ability to formulate problems, andknowledge of contemporary issues, rely on a student’s ability to locate and synthesizeinformation in its various formats. Developing information literacy skills will allowstudents to exert more control over the structuring of their own learning within andbeyond the classroom. This discourse begins by examining some of the tangible and marketable benefitsof information literate engineering students. This is followed by an examination of asuccessful collaboration between an engineering faculty and a librarian in the instructionof undergraduate and graduate students in becoming more

suggests thatas much as half a course could be devoted to these topics as core material included in everycomputer engineering program. An expedient way in which this can be done is to require a 3-hour core course in "Embedded Systems and Real Time Programming" as part of the computerengineering curriculum.Hughes and Nelson1 define computer engineering as the following: "Computer engineering embodies the science and the technology of design, construction, implementation and maintenance of the hardware and the software components of modern computing systems and computer-controlled equipment. Computer engineers are solidly grounded in the theories and principles of computing, mathematics and engineering, and apply these theoretical

As a resultof the growth of the companies, departments could be located in the different places and far fromeach other, so that the professionals have less and limited opportunity for face to facecommunication and brainstorming. Therefore, it is a necessity to modify and adapt classicalmethods to the current situation.

Baum claims engineers arehired for their analytical and problem-solving skills more than their technical skills. Yetcommunication skills are equally important because information becomes knowledge only whenconclusions drawn from analyses and potential solutions to problems are effectivelycommunicated to those who need to make decisions or implement solutions.
