It might be a field I study in grad school  I thought it was very interesting, it taught us more about the ethical side of engineering decisions. Especially the green design section.  I think it is a good idea because as engineers we need to consider how our actions might affect Earth and the generations that come after us.Some examples of more neutral response are shown below:  Unopposed, but it didn’t help the

Not just immediate cost.”Some students specifically mentioned ethical access of materials (8%) and mindful managementof how much material would be used (2%) intertwined with previously presented codes like “lifecycle” and “environmental impact”: “Whether they can be reused and whether you can get thematerial in an ethical way.” and “Cost, amount of material, access to certain materials,environmental-friendly ratings” and “Which field of engineering I'm in and what my choicesare.” These student responses suggest a broader range of understood consequences associatedwith management of

by an Academy programadvisor, and HCC students are required to enroll in a prescribed set of courses that are alignedwith transfer to the College of Engineering. As part of the Engineering Academy program, allengineering courses offered at the participating community colleges are taught by Texas A&MCollege of Engineering faculty. Based on student academic performance while at the communitycollege, they have an opportunity to transfer directly into the College of Engineering at the endof their first or second year of study. These are highly motivated students and display a strongwork ethic. Six students from the Academy were accepted into the 2015/2016 REEMS academic yearprogram, twelve accepted into the 2016/2017 REEMS program
