This ensures that graduates from any engineering school are able to work as professionalengineers even in any country, especially now when borders and jobs are more fluid andinternational. The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) has InformationLiteracy Standards for Science and Engineering/Technology which parallel and enhance thestandards for the ABET and CEAB graduate attributes for engineering programs [in Criterion 3and Graduate Attributes 3.1, respectively].

This reduced the initial 254 subject categoriesdown to 29 (11%). Mapping these results as a heat map allowed this study to visualize areas ofresearch concentration amongst these two populations. See Table 2.After assigning color values to this table to generate a heatmap, several interesting trends becameapparent.
