Science, engineering, and technology disciplines require that students demonstrate competency not only in written assignments and research papers but also in unique areas such as experimentation, laboratory research, and mechanical drawing.
The objective is to provide a set of standards that can be used by science and engineering/technology educators, in the context of their institution’s mission, to help guide their information literacy-related instruction and to assess student progress.
The field of mathematics is not included in the standards. Based on the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education, five standards and twenty-five performance indicators were developed for information literacy in Science & Engineering/Technology. Each performance indicator is accompanied by one or more outcomes for assessing the progress toward information literacy of students of science and engineering or technology at all levels of higher education.
