engineers deal with a wide variety of information at various steps of a project. Time constraints imposed on the design team as well the need for diverse information challenges design engineers. Diverse information ranges from abstract ideas in the conceptual design step to the smallest details in the detailed design, from checking patents for new ideas to avoid any infringing of existing patents and trade names. Because of this need, the ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) has articulated the importance of student outcomes to include “(f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility”, and “(i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.” [5]  Design

of acited reference in an article, conference paper, technical report or other written work is to directthe reader’s attention to information in a previously published (or unpublished) work that isrelated in some way to the author’s research. Professional and research ethics require authors tocite appropriately.Cited references in patent documents serve a different purpose. Patents are legal documents thatdefine the scope of an inventor’s intellectual property rights in a new invention or improvementon an existing technology. The World Intellectual Property Organization defines a citation as areference to another (print or online) document, oral communication, use, exhibition, or othermeans of disclosure “which may affect the patentability
