This is a constant issue for most engineers becauseprofitability often depends on more frequent purchases, such that engineered obsolescence isa powerful tool, yet one that is costly for the consumer and very damaging to theenvironment. There are several different ways companies introduce planned obsolescence intheir products [9]. They may use inferior materials in key components

Our scientific discoveries are increasing at a fast pace, but now there is less time between a scientific discovery and its adaptation to useful products. For example there are numerous application in engineering and medicine of laser.

Accordingly, this kind of thinking can yieldthe creation of tools or useful things through the interaction among students’ themselves andbetween students and instructor [e.g., 33].Mathematical
