The next speaker in this session was Dr. Cliff Davidson from Carnegie Mellon University s Environmental Institute. Davidson divided his talk into four topic areas (1) skills and attitudes that future engineers will need (2) environment across the curriculum initiative (3) case studies in green engineering and (4) center for sustainable engineering A three-university consortium comprising Carnegie Mellon, University of Texas at Austin, and Arizona State University. 

Sensitivity to human needs—Educating students about sustainable engineering to increase humanist interests is not the norm but may need to be taken into consideration in engineering education.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that a successful integration of catalytic reaction steps with product separation and catalyst recovery operations will also be dependent on innovative chemical reaction engineering. This will require the widespread application of sustainable engineering principles [48].In this context process intensification , which involves the design of novel reactors of increased volumetric productivity and selectivity with the aim of integrating different unit operations to reactor design, and miniaturization will play pivotal roles [49, 50]. 

This section provides an introductory overview of some of the concepts and ideas that underlie the development of sustainable design approaches. This overview is followed by a discussion of cradle-to-cradle design, a lifecycle-based approach to material assessment and product design, and a brief discourse on the emerging principles of sustainable engineering. These correspond to some of the emerging... 

Within this section, we review the Principles of Sustainable Engineering that were developed at the SanDestin conference, and provide a brief discussion of each of the principles. First, the principles are stated in their entirety. Then, an elaboration is provided to put these principles into an appropriate engineering context. 

To fully implement sustainable engineering solutions, engineers use the following principles ... 

There is a duty to inform society of the practice of sustainable engineering.
