- W624492726 abstract "The role of the engineer is changing from the technical innovator of the industrial revolution to agent of global change in the quest for sustainable development in the next century. The new role also includes the promotion of public recognition and understanding of the need for sustainable development. The explosion in knowledge, science and technology, particularly in the last century, has made humans the most successful of all the species of life on earth. It has also set us on a pathway which is not sustainable and which threatens to make us the victims of our own success. There is a need for a fundamental change of course, and the longer we delay initiating this change of course, the greater will be the human and economic cost of doing so and the less will be the chances of our making the shift successfully. Today, there are signs of hope as well as reasons for continuing concern. Our experience over the past quarter century has demonstrated that solutions are available, or can be found, when there is a clear political will for concerted action through a combination of policies, regulations and incentives. Even the most local of solutions must be applied in a global context. This requires new dimensions of international cooperation, particularly between developing and industrialized countries, as well as the re-developing countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. No society today can escape the realities of global interdependence or the responsibilities of cooperative stewardship. The United States, more than any other country, has a primary interest in and responsibility for developing the ethos and supporting the institutions of stewardship that will be the key to our security and sustainability in the 21st Century. And as engineers are those who translate our vision for the future into reality, their leadership role will be decisive." @default.
