Genetic engineering is one of the more controversial and complex areas of science and engineering, and it intersects with sustainability in a variety of ways. Proponents of the science say that it can lead to greater sustainability through the more efficient use of land and the creation of bigger and better food supplies. Critics point out that the promise of such crops has been around for some time with little results, while there are very real negative effects.
Local Government World Congress focuses on solutions (James Brooks, Nation's Cities Weekly): A total of almost two thousand leaders of municipalities from around the world met in Korea in November of 2007 to unveil and discuss various sustainability methods. From city planning to power use and many other applications, there were a great deal...
A great deal of change can be wrought at this level of society, members of the meeting stressed, and by sharing information and encouraging development in cities around the world, it is hoped that more efficient practices will continue to emerge.
Sustainability is something that must be worked for in all areas of life; improvements in transportation efficiency through better city planning could reduce a great deal of emissions. Engineers have also developed technologies that could regain much energy that is lost or wasted at a city level, including the generation of electricity from the trend of pedestrian feet, and this is certainly a meeting of engineering and sustainability.

From city planning to power use and many other applications, there were a great deal of different technologies demonstrated and discussed at the meeting in an effort to create more sustainable practices at the local level.

Engineering Curriculum Content Engineering curriculum Acquiring Engineering education is essential in training good quality engineer who afterwards becomes equipped to take up challenging task and responsibility as they undertake their duty. As one who is bestowed with responsibilities of administering an institution with limited resources and assigned to take part in revising the engineering curriculum that can accommodate more number of graduates, it is important to have necessary curriculum contents. As time passed
Engineering Ethics Ethics and Morality Related to the Field of Engineering The purpose of this paper is to define engineering ethics in brief, here the discussion will also be about why successful engineers should be able to inspire trust and confidence in others where their integrity and honesty is concerned. Some references will also be given regarding why college students have to be loyal before they step into the practical world. All
2009). This gives a strong idea of where the ethical onus lies in the practice of engineering. Another rather more expansive case study can be derived form the current state of bridges in the United States, and the general state of disrepair of many bridges that are still n regular heavy use (Harris et al. 2009). A rating system has been developed that determines when a bridge should be put
When you begin a career, you may not be sure what skills you are lacking, so working part-time, taking an internship, or even volunteering could help prepare the student for what the job entails, and make them more comfortable as they begin their career. As the career develops, the engineer may begin to see skills that are lacking, such as English writing, or team building, or many other aspects of

Engineering Ethics This post-mortem report is directed to the British Petroleum (BP) board of directors concerning the BP Texas City refinery explosion incident that took place on March 23, 2005. A series of explosions occurred during the restarting of the hydrocarbon isomerization unit in the Texas City refinery. The main technical reason behind the initial explosion was the flooding of the over-pressurized distillation column, which ended up in a geyser of
