  2. Introduction: A Quick Survey • Librarians have tradition of patron service • Information literacy is essential • Patrons are changing • What’s new in accreditation standards? • We can assist faculty in meeting accreditation standards • Let’s examine converging factors

  3. Something New • ABET Expectation: Colleges of Engineering will provide ethics content in courses • Students may not be equipped with ethics skills • Librarians are well positioned to help

  4. ABET 2000Criterion #3 Engineering Programs must demonstrate that their graduates have… • An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility • Each program must include an assessment program

  5. ABET 2000Criterion # 4 • Students must be prepared for engineering practice… • Incorporate economic, manufacturability, ethical, et.al.

  6. Role of the Engineering Librarian • Librarians have the necessary information utilization skills • Librarian can be a neutral party for collaboration, partnering • Emerging roles as content developers • Instruction

  7. Information Literacy…critical thinking skills • Recognize when information is needed • Locate, evaluate & use information effectively • Understand the economic, legal and social issues surrounding the use of information and use the information ethically and legally (ACRL).

  8. Today’s Student • Millennial students are different (Newton) • More general knowledge, but less experience in exploring a subject in depth • They don’t “know all that stuff” (Weiler). • Skills can be embedded into curricula

  9. Implementation • Librarians have the skills • Embed in the curriculum-not sporadic • Nerz, Weiner • Must include assessment-ABET • Engineering & Library faculty collaborate on cycle of assessment/improvement
