research questions driving this project are “What are the research supports neededby CEE researchers during the whole research lifecycle?” and “What can academic libraries do toimprove services to meet these needs?” We specifically focus on the faculty members who areconducting research in the Civil and Environmental Engineering field at a private university. Thisresearch is part of a larger series of studies coordinated by Ithaka S+R1 on the research supportneeds of scholars by discipline.This study used a grounded theory guided approach consisting of the initial and focused codingsteps.

Focused coding was the first conceptual stepin the data analysis where significant or frequent first order codes are used to group andexplain larger sets of data.

of framing an engineering problem as being composed of discretesystems, the Circle Way recognizes that the parts are not only interacting, but that the boundariesbetween them are shifting, arbitrary, and often far from clear. The Circle Way challengesparticipants to shift their orientation from a collection of individuals to a co-creating community.For instance, consider a technical project team: one typical approach would be to break down theproject into the electrical, mechanical, and software (etc.) engineering sub-projects, assign eachto the student(s) of that major, and integrate the completed parts into the whole system at thevery end.

In addition, on 17 of the 23 items on the survey, 80% of the pilot students scoredin the high range.

12.2 Student CreativityA survey was designed and implemented before and after the course to measure the impact ofcourse participation on students’ self-perception of their creative tendencies. We utilized twoexisting surveys: the Reisman Diagnostic Creativity Assessment (RDCA) [10] and theInnovative Behavior Scales (IBS) [11]. We chose two instruments, as while the RDCA coveredmost of the course objectives, an inspection of Reisman et al. [10] indicated that the surveyconstructs had questionable reliability in prior use. Therefore, our team refined this instrumentand its constructs prior to data collection. In contrast, our team had utilized Dyer et al.’s (2008)instrument in the past, with results that had excellent reliability. Notably, the

Teams typically become integral parts of faculty researchprograms, continually evolving with the team advisor’s research.3. The program is curricular and all participating students are graded (A-F; not P/F, S/U). VIPis not an extra- or co-curricular activity. It is a sequence of courses whose credits count towardsstudents' degree requirements, and letter grading holds students accountable for their work. Inmany ways, feedback and grading in VIP is like an evaluation in the workplace. Work isevaluated, guidance is given, and students have the opportunity to improve.

Our generic rubric for a laboratory report is shown in Table 1. Table 1. Default rubric for assessing student understanding in laboratory reports Headed Section Important Statement(s

We found it critical to combinethe existing frameworks [13, 19] because its combination and adaptions allows us toinvestigate engineering identity development within makerspaces. Adapting only one orthe other would not allow us to account for either the social factors that are present incommunities of practice or different factors that are known to influence engineeringidentity development. Taken together, we are able to investigate one, situated within theother. Figure 1 may help clarify our adaptation.
