INTRODUCTION TO THEENVIRONMENT

8/3/2019 ECW552 Lecture Week1
10/44
Definition - Environment
There is no one definition of the word that can be acceptedby the various disciplines of knowledge.
The environment is the external surroundings in whichplants and animals live, which tend to influence theirdevelopment and behaviour
(Hanks,1979)
The environment as the natural conditions, e.g. land, airand water in which we live in
(Hornby, 1989)
-
8/3/2019 ECW552 Lecture Week1
11/44
Definition - Environment
The environment can be defined as a lifesupporting system for living organisms.The support system consist of the natural
components such as land, water and air,which interact in an interdependent,complex and dynamic manner thatinfluence the growth, development and
decay of micro-organisms, flora, fauna andhuman.

International Expectations for Engineers - 1
Engineers have got societys trust in conceiving,
designing, implementing, producing, operating,maintaining, and ultimately disposing of physicaland information assets, in the forms of infrastructure,
systems, products and services.Engineers are concerned essentially with creatingnew futures and solving practical problems, safelyand responsibly.
Engineering is a key ingredient of innovation.

International Expectations for Engineers - 2
Professional engineers are required to takeresponsibility for engineering projects andprograms in the most far-reaching sense.This includes:
Ensuring that all aspects of a project aresoundly based in theory and fundamentalprinciple
Reliable functioning of all materials andtechnologies used
-
8/3/2019 ECW552 Lecture Week1

International Expectations for Engineers - 3
Their integration to form a complete and self-consistent system and all interactions between thetechnical system and the environment in which itfunctions
Understanding the requirements of clients and ofsociety as a whole
working to optimise social, environmental and
economic outcomes over the lifetime of theproduct or program
interacting effectively with the other disciplines,professions and people involved

New Engineers are Global Engineers
National borders no longer limit engineeringopportunities
Engineering graduates have world-wide mobility
Engineers are professionals and their
capabilities require evaluation or assessment

Why Engineers Important -1
Engineers apply science and technologyto create useful things for human needs
Let me challenge all of you to help
mobilize global engineering andtechnology to tackle the interlockingcrises of hunger, disease,environmental degradation and conflict
that are holding back the developingworld.-- Kofi Annan, 2002
