Leaders of technology centric corporations wereunconvinced that the standard MBA curriculum included the competencies they were seeking todevelop. For example, one corporate partner mentioned that the MBA would not help the salesand marketing people better communicate with engineers and other technical staff. They wantedan engineering based degree that would provide engineers and non-engineers alike with a highlevel understanding of

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.

opportunities to bolster renewable energy education in the U.S. [3]. Moreover, mostengineers are not trained to use renewable energy technologies and most are not aware of theprinciples of sustainability. There is therefore an urgent necessity to develop and implement newcourses that prepare engineers and scientists to work with and produce renewable energy systems[5] . Therefore, in the present paper the “Building Expertise on Energy Sustainability (BEES)”model is proposed, the model is a comprehensive approach composed of four key components,which are: 1) Education, 2) Research, 3) Outreach, and 4) Connection (Figure 1).
