Since freshman engineering students need to learn the same things, engaging the newlibrarians in teaching basic information literacy components to freshman engineering studentsseemed to be a good place to train them.The learning process included three significant steps: Observation, reflection (and input), andpractice. A key component was to maintain the novice librarian’s engagement at each stage ofthe learning process. The novice librarians first observed sections of the in-class component,taught by an experienced engineering librarian, with the knowledge that they would be

Professional Practice (CAP3) began by analyzing the three fundamentalcharacteristics of a profession—an ethic of service, a professional organization, and a specializedbody of knowledge.2 The committee’s analysis of the civil engineering profession suggested thatonly the first two of these three characteristics had been adequately defined. Thus began abroad-based effort to define the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge.In January 2004 this endeavor achieved a major milestone with ASCE’s publication of CivilEngineering Body of Knowledge for the 21st Century—a report describing the knowledge, skills,and attitudes necessary for entry into the practice of civil engineering at the professional level.3This report describes the Civil Engineering Body of

Students in Engineering Design through Engineers Without Borders ProjectsAbstractIt is important that first year engineering students learn that the engineering design processinvolves more than mathematics and physics. To accomplish this, students choose designprojects from a variety of disciplines, developed with Engineers Without Borders (Canada) andsituated in either a developing country or a remote area of Canada. All projects required, not onlya technical solution, but also consideration of ethics, health and safety, economics, and impact onthe community. Among the design projects were a rain-water harvesting system and ceramicwater filter for villagers in Cambodia and a press for extracting oil and producing biodiesel

The need foridentifying preconceptions is particularly true when the intended learning outcomes includedeveloping a deeper understanding of the big issues related to AI, such as its theoreticallimitations (if any), the relationship between AI and human intelligence, its ethical application,and so on. This is because students may already have strongly held beliefs about these topicsthat are not easily changed without full engagement.To begin addressing this need for identifying student knowledge about the field of AI and thefuture of technology, this paper presents two data sets that provide insight into
