Such amodel ignores inequalities, has contempt for the arts and literature, promotes group think,needs docile students and de-emphasizes critical thinking. We would like to offer adifferent paradigm, one which has as its priority the development of not only the humanspecies but also the rest of the natural world. We would like to offer a new paradigm forengineering based upon a new ethic, linked to our capacity to love. Using such aparadigm, each and every being matters, groups are disaggregated into individuals andequal respect exists for each individual. Such
