What Effect Does Engineers Have On The Environment

Passing of the years, development and growth of the planet have been guided to create and produce new things to satisfy human needs with industrialization and modernization regardless the consequences that occurred in the environment. Once, the environment was evaluated, and analysed the impact of people in it, all the effects were vast, for example weakening of the ozone layer, acid rain, decreased natural resources like water, the exploitation of natural resources, effects on air quality, contamination of rivers, deforestation; we realize the damage, we 've been defiling our planet and therefore our quality of life. Some says that engineers don’t have to be worried about the consequences of their acts in the ecological or social field, but

Jonker (2012:10) argue that for an organization, adopt strategies of sustainability means put aside the thought of the economic profit goal and get balance between profit, people and planet, and this behavior is becoming more common with the passage of the years. As an example “Renault has built a factory at Tangiers in Morroco that will reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by 98% operational from 2012. The plant achieved these reductions by two main methods: water recycling and the electrical power is totally generated by renewable energy sources such as wind, solar power, and hydroelectricity” Jhonson (2014). Organizations like Renault who believe in a prosperous world must be consistent with the needs and demands of society presents. Also they need professionals committed to developing manufacture process, products and designs according to follow the strategy of the organization. University are commit with sustainability process too, they are creating programmes forming specialize engineers in ecological and ambient field who has the main responsibility of improve their skills to find new ways how to use efficiently the resources, in the same time many universities like Newcastle University and its institute of sustainability in wish one research across traditional discipline boundaries to deliver practical, engaged solutions to real-world issues, under the banner of 'Enough, for all, forever '. With this is demonstrated that engineers have to be a realistic concern in sustainability: first because there are part of a sociality, they are affected for the environment changes as all people, second sustainability it is an ethical professional concept and third party it is their responsibility inside their
