Today, however, engineers must also have knowledge of topics beyond the realm of traditional engineering – to succeed, they must possess an understanding of environmental issues, legal issues, and business issues.

They explain how product design is affected by environmental and intellectual property considerations, and explore how sustainable products and services can benefit business while also providing career growth for engineers.
