I continued being the liaison librarian to the college of engineering. While conducting library instruction to engineering students, I noticed many students were not aware of artificial intelligence algorithm behind the academic databases when searching. It forms the background of my PoP which is "Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Engineering Students have Limited Artificial Intelligence Literacy Skills in the University Libraries’ Academic Databases".]]> 2023-09-09 02:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/haoyonglan/reln9b656jufw6ye/wish/2691390547 haoyonglan https://padlet.com/haoyonglan/reln9b656jufw6ye/wish/2691391051 The reason I want to pursue an EdD in STEM is I'd like to learn STEM methodologies I can use to promote engineering education from a librarian's perspective. The Pitt EdD in STEM program will support my professional development and academic learning in many ways. I want to explore the tools to identify and frame ways to engage in the conversation of engineering librarianship. I want to talk to people experienced in STEM instructional design and teaching to further improve my teaching practices. Assessment and evaluation are other important components I would like to learn more about. Specifically, I want to learn qualitative methods to evaluate and improve my STEM education practices.]]> 2023-09-09 02:43:40 UTC https://padlet.com/haoyonglan/reln9b656jufw6ye/wish/2691391051 haoyonglan https://padlet.com/haoyonglan/reln9b656jufw6ye/wish/2691391420 During my graduate study, I got the opportunity to be a graduate assistant at Grainger Engineering Library and practiced engineering librarianship which helped me decide to become an engineering librarian.]]> 2023-09-09 02:44:43 UTC https://padlet.com/haoyonglan/reln9b656jufw6ye/wish/2691391420
