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
