Catalano, George D.
Engineering, Poverty, and the Earth by George D. Catalano - 1st edition 2007 - 1 recurso en línea (X, 73 páginas) - Synthesis Lectures on Engineers Technology & Society 1933-3641 .
Introduction -- Planet Earth -- Poverty -- Emerging Ideas in Engineering -- A New Paradigm for Engineering -- Final Thoughts.
In the present work, the growing awareness in engineering of the profession's responsibility towards the environment and the poor is considered. The following approach is taken: a brief overview of the issues of poverty particularly in the U.S. and the deterioration of the natural world with a focus on the Arctic is provided. Case studies involving New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the status of polar bears in a time of shrinking Arctic ice cover are detailed. Recent developments in engineering related to the issues of poverty and the environment are discussed. A new paradigm for engineering based on the works of Leonardo Boff and Thomas Berry, one that places an important emphasis upon a community, is explored.
