Emphasized by ABET 6, engineersare charged with understanding the global, economic, ethical, and societal impacts of theirtechnical decisions. Policy decisions in our dynamic, technical society require this firmunderstanding of the limits and effects of science and technology 3.

Selection decisions for materials and processes have a dramaticimpact on environmental protection, waste management, engineering ethics and socialresponsibility. The ‘Obligation of the Engineer’, promulgated by the National Society ofProfessional Engineers (NSPE), requires that engineers ‘conserve nature’s resources’. This is anobligation that engineers of all disciplines, and particularly design engineers, materials engineers,and manufacturing engineers, should consider in any professional decision. See the
