The engineer's role in sustainable development
Article Abstract:
Engineers are faced with the task of building new relationships with policymakers and the public at large in order to mobilize the funding needed for sustainable investments in infrastructure development. Three areas of action for the realization of these challenges involving education, domestic professional organizations and environmentally sound technologies are presented and discussed. Engineers are expected to translate the concept of sustainable development into new products in the service of humanity.

Rational emotions
Article Abstract:
Environmental activists should use rational arguments to fight their cause without accepting criticism for having emotional involvement. Scientific research is given more credence than it deserves. Every scientific argument concerning the impact of industry on the environment involves human emotion. Science without emotion achieves facts without direction. Human beings must use their emotions to a rational end.
