Projects: Where are students still struggling?AbstractMechanical Engineering students at Northeastern University are introduced to research skills andinformation literacy at several points during the undergraduate curriculum, including a recentlyintroduced first-year engineering workshop and a required technical writing in the disciplinecourse. There are also two writing intensive courses that require background research to informlab reports and research presentations. When students reach Capstone Design, project reportsshow vastly different levels of proficiency in information literacy skills. The goal of this studywas to assess which information literacy skills were poorly learned and retained by the students,in order to

To do so, they require capturing, processing, and interpreting data.Considerable design work is required to ensure that data captured within smart cities can actuallybe used to inform decisions. For smart cities and the sensed infrastructure they comprise to be aswidely adopted, as current interest suggests they will be, future engineers will need to be familiarwith both the design and data aspects of smart cities. Today’s engineering students will be thosefuture engineers.
