1. Cost-oblivious approach Oblivious – Lacking mindful attention 2. Approach based on Cost-benefit analysis

In this approach priority is given to the protection of environment than the cost of the products designed by the Engineers. This approach does not accept/tolerate any environmental degradation. DRAWBACK This approach is difficult to sustain and enforce in a modern urbanised society
10
In this approach,the problem is analysed in terms of the benefits derived by reducing the pollution and the costs required to solve the problem. In other words,the objective is not to achieve a completely clean environment,but to achieve an economically beneficial balance of pollution with health or environmental considerations. DRAWBACKS: It is very difficult to determine the true cost of a human life or the loss of a species;and also it is very difficult accurately assess costs and benefits.

ENGINEERS AS MANAGERS

Engineers move into management roles because of the following two reasons. 1. Many corporate managements prefer engineers as their managers.Bacause they believe that: * To manage technological corporation,the technical understanding is necessary; and * The engineers have the potential of understanding the business techniques of any corporate bodies than any non-engineers.Also it is comparatively easier to teach the business techniques than to teach non-engineers the engineering techniques. 2. Engineers are attracted by various corporate incentives such as higher pay,greater authority, wider responsibility and increased prestige and recognition.
