"Ethics in Engineering Design" - based on papers presented at the International Engineering and Product Design Education Conference, IE&PDE 2023 - provides that platform and addresses the full spectrum of design education.

This volume of papers is vital reading for all those students, practitioners, and professionals operating in the field of product and engineering design and education.

Contents include:

CurriculumQAA benchmark statements and Open University design coursesDesign for life-sustainable futures - are we all guilty?

ProjectsSustainability - a design exercise?Cabin and passenger environment design for the Airbus A380 - a case study for educationUsing small scale alternative energy equipment as a vehicle for sustainable development study

Design is key to innovation and wealth creation - it is, therefore, critical that the issue of Design Education has a forum for debate and dissemination of best practice.

Even in paradise, one needs to be mindful of whatas underfoot. The Sabino Canyon Recreation Area is a desert oasis in the Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson, a rich repository of wildlife and a favorite destination for Tucsonans and visitors for more than a century. This book presents annotated and illustrated descriptions of the amphibians and reptiles found at Sabino Canyon and an overview of their natural environment. Representing a study spanning nearly twenty-five years, it documents their present and past distribution and examines environmental and herpetofaunal change due to physical, biological, and human impact on species and habitats. In this first publication to describe Sabino Canyonas biota in scientific detail, three expert authors pool their knowledge to provide a detailed discussion of ecological changeaespecially as a consequence of drought, flooding, the introduction of exotic species, and direct human impact. Suburbia has arrived on the canyonas doorstep, and human visitation has soared, inalterably affecting the area. Of particular concern, breeding habitats for amphibians were profoundly altered by flash flooding in Sabinoas streams following the 2003 Aspen Fire, which ravaged large parts of the Santa Catalina Mountains. The book contains richly detailed accounts of the 57 species found at Sabinoa25 snakes, 17 lizards, 8 toads and frogs, 6 turtles, and 1 salamanderaemphasizing their local ecology and the behavior likely to be witnessed by visitors. Physical descriptions and numerous photographsamany in colorafacilitate identification. Up-to-date distribution maps provide an essential baseline against which future researchers can measure change. "Amphibians, Reptiles, and Their Habitats at Sabino Canyon" is essential for anyone who seeks to understand this desert oasis, how it has changed, and how it may change in the future. Written with minimal technical jargon to make it as useful to students and visitors as it will be to scientists and resource managers, it makes a vital contribution to our understanding of creatures underfoot whose habitat we seek to share.

By exploring the subject of light through verse and image I have attempted to capture the drama of human experience. Each of us throughout our lives experience the joy of acceptance and love; the pain of rejection and indifference; the confusion of fear and hate; the discovery of true love; the crushing blow of lost love; the dark hole of self-pity and lost hope; the false path of pride; and finally, hopefully, the peace, humility and contentment of knowing who we are and why we exist, when we stand fully in the Light. The verse written was inspired by life and the people in it. Light of You is inspired by my wife, Michelle, and our journey to becoming spiritual partners. We all battle hurt, lost, and times of total despair, yet the most constant and fierce battle, for me, is the battle of self. I have found that the battle of self is eased when we enter fully into the light of truth and embrace it. Do this and you will experience the rewards of peace and calm, joy, love, and the contentment of knowing who you are and why you exist. My hope is that the verse and images in this small book help you on your journey of life.
