The
term
"sustainable
development"
embodies
an
important
ethical
principle
which
includes
the

of
responsibility
to
present
and

significance
not
just
for
the
practice
of
engineering
but
for
the
role
of
the
individual
engineer.
This
talk
explored,
using
specific
cases,
how
sustainable
development
affects
the
way
in

the
technical
skills
of
the
engineer
should
be
deployed.
