As pointed out by recent reports,the increasing global competition is due to the aging of the current aerospace workforce and thefact that aerospace and

. Appendix ABig Belly Solar Case StudyBackgroundThe problem of waste management in urban settings is a problem that cities have been workingto tackle for a long time. Recently a number of new technologies, developed in part by engineers,have emerged to help combat common trash problems. The Big Belly Solar trash compactorsystem is one of the technologies that have been widely implemented, including on our owncampus here at Virginia Tech. As with many new technologies, there is some controversy aboutwhether these types of trash cans should be adopted widely, with arguments on either side. Thecases that you will read about look at two perspectives of the Big Belly Solar roll out in the SanFrancisco Bay area--one in the City of San Francisco, and

Answers trending toward the center likely suggeststudents had lower confidence in their answers and wanted to select an option that seemed“safe.” Comparing local to global scale responses, global scale responses tended to be slightlylower, suggesting a trend toward engineering projects favoring developing countries. Theseresponses may be due to messaging many young engineers receive, of engineering being a toolfor sustainable development and technologic advancement locally and in other countries [24].Collectively, these results suggest an opportunity to more explicitly address the social justicequestion of “who benefits and
