The 1970s were a tumultuous decade for American economic policy. Events like the oilcrises in 1973 and 1979, the U.S. withdrawal from the Bretton Woods monetary agreement, andstagflation - the combination of low economic growth, high unemployment, and high inflationrates - began to cast doubt upon the incumbent Keynesian economic policy paradigm [1, p. 372],[2, p. 20], [3]. Beginning in this decade, both domestic and international economic policy beganto shift away from accepting a role for the government in shaping economic policy and toward aminimized role focused on ensuring proper market functioning and little else. This retraction ofgovernment regulation and intervention came under the name of neoliberalism. Neoliberalism isbroadly

For example, the first Ambassador of the UnitedStates was inventor-scientist Benjamin Franklin, and the first Secretary of State wasfarmer-scientist Thomas Jefferson. More recently, in 1961, Article 3 of the ViennaConvention on Diplomatic Relations was written to highlight that, “the functions of adiplomatic mission consist, inter alia, in

Unfortunately, there arevirtually no engineers or scientists participating in policies and decisions related to thesephenomena. Only non-technical-oriented individuals, who do not possess the required expertiseand knowledge, carry out these tasks [1]. Even though some engineer’s members of organization,such as ASCE, work for government organizations and provide advices to policy makers, they arenot involved in policy related decisions [3].

Once the emissions have been quantified, firms report resulting GHGemissions through voluntary or mandatory data collection efforts like the CarbonDisclosure Project or EPA's GHGRP. Building on the foundation of these standards, WRIhas also developed standards for reporting GHG emissions at the product-specific level[4]. Finally, ISO has developed standards specific to carbon and water footprinting (ISO14067, ISO 14046).The aforementioned standards fundamentally depend on the definitions andcomprehensive environmental analysis contained in the ISO 14040 standards for lifecycle assessment (LCA).

Advanced technical education in a specialization, suchas fully accredited engineering degrees takes place in stage 2 while medical and legaleducation (MD, JD, BL) takes place in stage 3 and so forth outward.
