This thorough coverage of these new advances will assist the reader in rethinking our place in the universe and broadening a sense of ethical responsibility for the planet. This book addresses an approach to integrating these changes and deal with issues such as global climate change and the sixth extinction. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book compares new ideas in engineering that extend ethical boundaries beyond our present understanding in which Engineering ethics is locked in the world view of the 18\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e and 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e centuries. This books coverage examines how our understanding of the world has changed due to developments in science and society to include green, humanitarian, social justice, and \u003ci\u003eomnium a\u003c\/i\u003epproaches to the engineering profession.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe coverage of societal and ethics inscience and engineering practice are examined through four major areas.  \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eGreen engineering\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eis the design that promotes the use of processes and products that minimize pollution, promote sustainability, and protect human health without sacrificing economic viability and efficiency. \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eHumanitarian engineering\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to directly improve the well-being of poor, marginalized, or under-served communities, which often lack the means to address pressing problems. \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eEngineering for social justice\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eimagines a new kind of engineering firmly affixed to the common good. Finally, a new approach, \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eomnium engineering\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, seeks to promote an engineering profession that considers the wants and needs of all life forms not only that of the human species\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe scope of this treatise is to examine the premise that the earth is facing grave crises when confronting global climate change and the sixth extinction. Engineering may be the planet’s last best hope, but it requires a new ethic that takes a much broader view of the profession’s ethical responsibilities.  Moreover, the engineering ethic is rooted in the science of the past (Newtonian mechanic). Science has changed (quantum mechanics) but the engineering world view has not. Embracing this new science will inevitably lead to a new story of our responsibilities towards the planet.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2023-10-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031133190\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-13317-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x168cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 61\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47541340635276,"sku":"9783031133190","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031133190.jpg?v=1776081364","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031133190","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
