To meet Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) standards, an engineering baccalaureate program must satisfy a list of criteria. The New Student Learning Outcome 7 requires “an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies” (ABET, 2018). Learning Outcome 2 requires students to develop "an ability to formulate or design a system, process, procedure or program to meet desired needs". The outcome measures a student’s ability toward lifelong learning. Rapid technological advancements require acquiring new skills, knowledge and competencies to succeed in the engineering profession. To develop competencies to meet the outcome, the University of Michigan-Flint developed and offered a series of workshops in collaboration with the library. These workshops are designed to meet once a week for seven weeks. Each workshop presented topics about how to keep up with current research, explore engineering standards, and incorporate latest technological developments in the engineering design and processes. The objective of these workshops was to advance their knowledge and professional skills by providing students with information about different engineering standards. Students are also required to write a research paper by selecting a topic relevant to their engineering courses. After completing the workshops and the research paper, students completed a survey on the importance and relevance of the topics learned from the workshop. Results of this pilot study will be assessed to evaluate future workshop topics to improve students' knowledge and competencies in the area of engineering professional skills.
