Customers, especially from industry and government, rely on standards toensure goods and services satisfy their needs while improving health, safety, environmental, andsocial equity aspects. Standards identify and evaluate technologies, thus plays a vital role indetermining which technologies are adopted and how they are deployed in industry andproducts.4 Engineers that understand that role will be more effective in incorporating standardsin their work so that sustainability is improved. Moreover, standards encompass activitiesbeyond the scope of commerce. Consequently, standards shape the sustainability of a wide arrayof market and non-market activities.Recognition of this has lead to the development of standards that explicitly

It could revolutionize the way our society manufactures goods, generates energyand cures diseases. Nano scale materials are currently being used in consumer goods,computers, electronics, information and biotechnology, aerospace, defense, energy, medicine andmany other sectors of our economy. Areas producing the greatest revenue for
problem-solving and a greater understanding of eco-friendlybusiness practices, companies are discovering that they can satisfy environmental concerns,while simultaneously cutting energy costs, boosting productivity and promoting innovation. Therecognition of eco-friendly business practices as win-win opportunities are encouraging morecompanies to undertake these initiatives. Conversely, those organizations that aren’t eco-friendlyand fail to address ecological concerns will forgo the opportunities for positive change and sufferfinancially in the long run.As future environmental managers and industry leaders, engineering and technology studentsneed to understand the benefits of eco-friendly business practices. Consequently, it is importantfor

traced back to the hydraulic engineering used to provide water to ancient civilizations inAsia, Greece, Rome, Persia and South America (Anderson 2002). According to Anderson(2002) the first Sanitary Engineering (later to be called Environmental Engineering) programbegan at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1889. The program, located in the CivilEngineering Department, incorporated courses in sanitary chemistry and sanitary biology.Although similar programs at Harvard University and University of Illinois soon followed,formation of additional programs was limited until after World War II (Anderson 2002). The emergence of Environmental Engineering as an independent discipline grew out ofthe nation’s environmental revolution and the

The activitydescribed in this paper has been developed to provide both a problem solving and a laboratoryactivity on exhaust emissions. The students spend three two hour sessions on the activity.During the first session, the students are introduced to the technology and perform the initialproblem development and discussion portions of the activity. During the second session, thestudents perform the laboratory, collecting the data using the emissions analyzer. During thethird session, students analyze the data and discuss the results.
