This has led some tosuggest that the education of undergraduate engineers is essential for advancing globalsustainable development [2].Chemical engineers are uniquely positioned to make major contributions in the field ofsustainability as they bring a strong understanding of renewable energy sources, sustainablematerials, process optimization for efficiency, and the environmental impacts of engineeringdesign. Industry and academia are aware of the growing need for chemical engineers equippedwith sustainability mindsets and practical skills, and they are rising to meet the demand.

But now, with therealization of the powerful utility of reverse engineering for understanding complex naturalsystems, engineering students at ORU are challenged to consider how this finding impacts thebigger picture of life on Earth. The study of the reverse engineering of natural systems not onlyenables students to relate engineering to other technical fields such as biology, chemistry andphysics, but also fields such as psychology, sociology, anthropology, cosmology, philosophy,religion, and other humanities.
