Organizations tend to have more hierarchy levels, largernumbers of people for the same work output, and engineers seem to have less financialawareness and authority. Engineering work relies on a narrower choice of materials andcomponent supplies, and technical skills available in the workforce are relatively low incomparison to industrialised countries.

One of the aspects that are hard to quantify monetarily is the returnon investment in sustainable versus conventional facilities. However, more people everydayrecognize the strong relationship between the performance of infrastructure facilities and asustainable environment. A sustainable environment cannot be realized by the effort of only afew. It requires the collective effort of all because every contribution adds up toward the goal ofsustainability.

Issues raised and discussed in this paper support a return to design as the primary purpose for theengineering laboratory. The issues include: the purposes and style of experimentation, the roles of simulationand the computer, pedagogical relationships between the laboratory and the lecture, the role of engineeringscience in support of design, and intended outcomes for students (graduate school vs. immediate career entry).

Seymour and Hewitt2 found two main reasons for departuresfrom the sciences: disinterest or disappointment in field, and poor academic performance withsubsequent loss of self-efficacy. Haag et al.3 also found that poor academic advising,unapproachable faculty, and complicated engineering curricula were important institutionalcontributors to student attrition. Although poor academic performance may motivate somestudents to leave engineering, other students persist despite these academic setbacks.
