"Green Engineering" is the theme for the Engineering Education Service
Center's 2008 Poster contest. This year's winning entry can be found in
a display of inspiration, excitement, wonder and curiosity. Posters
should be fun, motivational and inspire students to pursue a degree in
engineering, technology and/or science.
Engineering is humanitarian, caring and possibly the most effective,
hands-on approach to make the world a better place. The engineering
field can be very exciting. If you would like a career that allows you
to help others on a grand scale or if you ever wanted to make the world
a better place, then engineering has something for you!
Green Engineering is the design, commercialization and use of processes
and products that are feasible and economical while minimizing the
generation of pollution at the source and the risk to human health and
the environment. Green Engineers design for economic, environmental and
social benefits. Economic benefits include reduction in operating costs
(i.e., energy and water efficiency, waste management, repair and
improvement) and optimization of life- cycle economic performance.
Environmental benefits include conservation of natural resources,
increased use of renewable energy sources, improvements in air and water
quality and reduction of solid waste generation. Social benefits include
improved comfort and health, reduced impact on local resources and
infrastructure, and use of recycled/reused materials. For more
