The full professor is a serial entrepreneur, with over sixcompanies, while the assistant teaching professor is an expert in engineering design andeducation, and the lecturer is a professional working in industry. These broad skills andexpertise have allowed the professors to provide insights into entrepreneurship, academia, andindustry, which highlight the various potential career opportunities the engineering studentswill engage in upon graduation.Table 2: Course learning outcomes and corresponding ABET

In addition, the results of numerousstudies demonstrate that, beyond providing skills required by ABET standards, informationliteracy instruction results in engineering students finding higher quality information sources,developing better research questions, more deeply evaluating the credibility of the sources theygather, and generally producing better research. While all of this is encouraging, the literaturealso asserts, repeatedly, that effective instruction in information literacy goes far beyond a single,generalized lecture provided by a librarian at the beginning of a semester. In order forinformation literacy instruction to be truly effective, it must be integrated into the course work,through multiple instruction

For instance, important work-life-balance conversations for Women-in-Engineeringgroups will tend towards heteronormative topics of balancing marriage and having children withan engineering career.

somewhat misaligned with the instructor’s thinking that, primarily, studentsshould learn how to learn to be able to use new tools, equipment, or whatever they may see intheir career. Similarly, the overall course was not intended to be a tool-specific skills workshop;the idea was to help students learn a basic form of experimental design process, so that they havea prototype or a template, so to speak, on which to continue building their expertise in whicheverfield they may be working in future. This message may not have reached some students.It appeared that some students could not or did not want to tolerate the ambiguity of the open-ended project set up as presented by the instructor.

Charles Huff draws attention to this dichotomy, in terms of “decision-orientedapproaches to teaching ethics and approaches that are intended to develop ethical behavior overthe course of an entire scientific or engineering career.”26 However, personally andprofessionally, the actions and behaviors of others seem more important than their decisions andjudgments.For example, the decision of a
