Document Summary
In present day, technology now has to meet a new requirement; being environmentally friendly. The article earth, wind and science revolved around the idea of sustainability and its place in engineering. Engineers for a sustainable world (esw) was formed and since then a contagious concept has spread across north america. When students were first exposed to this idea, they responded with keen interest and demanded this vital field of studies be integrated into their curriculum. With this growing popularity and the influence of corporate support, institutions of post-secondary education have now introduced courses and degrees based on sustainability. These new courses broke off into multiple branches and became a crucial part of civil, environmental, mechanical and manufacturing engineering. Students who took such a unique course were able to learn outside of class, where they experienced hands-on projects that presented them with a realistic example of a real world problem.
