Yet, the majority of design projectsrely on fossil fuels and old technologies that will continue to add CO2 to the atmosphere. Thus,Mechanical Engineering offers a space for increased attention to sustainability.We surveyed sophomore Mechanical Engineering students in an energy systems design class togauge their views on sustainability and its importance to engineering. This represents thepreliminary phase of a multi-year project on organizational change in the MechanicalEngineering Department.

In this assignment, the Social Impact Analysis (SIA), students are askedto identify and research a current engineering design, product, or concept that is (or soon will be)impacting society. Prima facie, this assignment promises to help acquaint students with thecomplexity of deploying new technology in society (domestically or globally). The actual andpotential impacts of these technologies raise a host of ethical issues that are students must beaware of and engage. However, as analyses and discussions become more nuanced (in light ofcomplexity), they can also become more abstract and, therefore, less practically important tostudents

We agree that there’s a need for the ethical, thoughtful practice of engineers; thecapacity of technology for harm is manifest. But the question is begged, “Why should wecare?” A simple appeal to intuition should disappoint us; none of us rely on intuitionalone for our other professional judgments.

It is evident that the U.S. engineering community must increase its focus on sharing and disseminating information, knowledge and technology that provides access to minerals, materials, energy, water, food and public health while addressing basic human needs. Engineers must deliver solutions that are technically viable, commercially feasible, and environmentally and socially sustainable.5Clearly, sustainability education will play a major role in providing society with engineers whoare environmentally conscious and critically aware of the global engineering
