Important Design Norms Project recap 4/11 Global fuel and energy crisis Contribute to the solution Christian mandate for sustainability Calvin College Statement on Sustainability Important Design Norms Statement on sustainability = Team Marathoner’s motivation in entering the Shell Eco-marathon Justice: Engineering designs have impacts on not only the user, but also on those directly or indirectly affected by the design. Reducing harmful emissions and fuel usage reduces the negative global damage that greenhouse gases have on the earth. Transparency: understandable and well documented design. We want to leave resources for future generations of engineering students to build on Stewardship Justice Transparency The Team Project Recap Goals Obstacles Analysis Resources Status
