Additionally, it is sometimes the case that formal specifications generated by the aforementionedtools do not match the natural language description of the specifications as provided by the tools[16]. As such, it is imperative that software engineers who use formal specifications can validatethat the generated properties match their understandings.

Given that traditional practices contributed to environmental degradation,methodological issues should be considered. We will discuss design education later.The last principle, regarding values, is perhaps the most sticky for two reasons. The first iswhether the definition of an engineering activity should have a value system attached to it. Webelieve it should because it is naive to assume that we can separate our motivation for practicingecological engineering from our actions. Therefore, the motivations should be made explicit.There is also precedent for stating values found in the fact that engineering and other

As such, allmajors are required to take a series of core curriculum courses which support the necessarytechnical background to earn this degree. Students in the School of Mathematics and Scienceand the School of Humanities and Social Sciences are all required to take a course titled“Principles of Propulsion” which focuses on basic thermodynamics and fluid flow and inparticular how these principles are applied to naval applications. General topics include energyconversion, fluid flow, hydraulics, steam cycles, gas turbine cycles, and internal combustionengine cycles
