be interpreted throughthe lens of that particular culture.So, how can this lofty task be accomplished? Mazumder points out that US academic institutionshave the educational foundation necessary to combine technology and culture in the engineeringcurriculum. The current educational models in practice can take the form of internationalconcentrations and minors, cultural courses and cultural components in dual degree andsimultaneous degree programs, global simulation projects, international internships and teamprojects, study abroad and global courses. Her comprehensive overview of the educationalmodels concludes with recommending a Global Skill Tool Box to prepare engineers for globalcompetence4. The set of skills, which can prepare students

Classification (IPC) and incorporate the best classification practices from theUSPTO. Starting in 2013 the EPO and USPTO will classify all EP and US documents using theCPC. This development has significant implications for academic engineering librarians. Patentsare one of the core literatures of engineering and have been taught in engineering schools formore than a century. As early as 1913, engineering students at Cornell University attendedlectures on patent topics.1 Today, academic engineering librarians often provide formal andinformal instruction to students on how to search the patent literature, including how to usepatent classification codes to retrieve patents related to specific technologies. In an informalsurvey of academic engineering
