231 Application and Practice of Sustainable Development in Engineering Hassan Badkoobehi National University, San Diego, CAAbstract— In recent years there has been an ever increasing need for sustainable design. Howeversustainable design sometimes may be in conflict with existing design standards. The topic that thisstudy addresses is the ethical dilemma between design standards and Sustainable design. This is anewly arising conflict resulting from the recent “green” Movement. This is a new challenge facing themodern engineer

31. Graduates can solve problems in mathematics through differential equations, 3: Application (a) calculus-based physics, chemistry, and one additional area of science.2. Graduates can design a civil engineering experiment to meet a need; conduct the 5: Synthesis (b) experiment, and analyze and interpret the resulting data.3. Graduates can design a complex system or process to meet desired needs, within 5: Synthesis (c) realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.4. Graduates can function effectively as a member of a multidisciplinary team. 3

tosensitize them to that paramount cannon of the ASME Engineering Codes of Ethics whichis that “Engineers shall hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public in theperformance of their professional duties” and that “Engineers shall recognized that the lives,safety, health and welfare of the general public are dependent upon engineering judgments,decisions and practices …” 4,8. Different hazards in design must be recognized and dealtwith in the optimal way i.e. kinematic, energy, electrical, chemical, material, environmental,ergonomic ones etc 5,7. Also, it is important to recognize potential for misuse or abuse ofproducts, particularly with regard to maintenance aspects. Ethical issues of the engineeringpractice are discusses with

class sizes ranging from 15 to 30 students. Originally there were many commentsasking why time was being ‘wasted’ on communications skills that could be provided adequatelyby the engineering instructor. The comments now typically state the students’ gratitude for thework ethic shown by the HU/COM instructor in improving their communication skills. Proceedings of the 2009 American Society for Engineering Education Pacific Southwest Regional Conference 478Overall, students greatly appreciate the opportunity to perform application-based engineering,and enjoy having a faculty member dedicated to improving their HU/COM skills

classify John Dewey as a social scientist. His first work is on psychology,published three years after earning his PhD at Johns Hopkins University. He is a contemporary ofFreud (they never met) and is sometimes discussed with Freud and Skinner as representing one ofthe three approaches to social thought in the United States. Freud and Skinner would represent theother two2. The problem with classifying Dewey as just a social scientist is that it is simply notaccurate. Dewey’s work can be described as at least 25 books spanning 1887 to 1949; and 41 notedpamphlets essays and other shorter works from the same period. His work can also be descibed assubjects including psychology, philosophy of education, moral philosophy, ethics, education, logic
