As design engineers and architects, we have a tremendous opportunity to improve the quality of life in the communities in which we work and live. Engineers are able to take the theoretical and sometimes abstract principles of science and apply them to make the world a better place. However, with this opportunity come the responsibility and the challenge to ensure the designs we develop, while furthering one aspect of our quality of life, do not do so at the expense of another or cause undue harm to individuals implementing or applying the design. This provides an opportunity to take sustainable actions: providing designs that are safe and environmentally responsible to current and future generations.
