Engineers culturally aware

An important starling point of this discussion was set by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology in the USA (ABET) Criteria for Accreditation, pubUshed in 2000. The urge for departments to develop conununication abiUty, cultural awareness, human interaction or ethics is a seminal event that can be considered as a reference point in the subject. 

The challenges and strategies of hybrid imagination and Mode 3 (Jamison et al. 2011, p. 7) pointed towards sustainability, responsibility, ethics, and cultural awareness in engineering and science. In addition to those, a number of scientific organizations argue that the proximity between the wider society SET requires ethical and social responsibility competences. In UNESCO s medium term strategy for 2008-2013 it is stated that ... 

The crowd was a crowd, seen watering everywhere at the city s lounges, genetically engineered by the world awarenesses of the Internet, wireless devices and cocktail culture. 

Significant eftort is now focusing on tissue-engineered vessels and heart valves. The history of this effort is found in the seeding or culturing of endothelium on synthetic vascular prostheses. The clinical outcomes did not justify continued development. However, rrew technology allows vascular tissue to be formed on scaffolds of either synthetic or resorbable materials. The awareness that endothelium alone was not suitable has led to the evolution of techniques to recreate the vascular tissue utilizing multiple cells types. - This approach utilizes the cell types expected in final structure, e.g., endothelium, smooth muscle cells, and fibroblasts, or pluripotential cells such as stem cells.
