Engineering Managers could play an important role in the

emerging green economy. Some may already work in

green sectors, such as in environmental protection where

they are involved in activities related to environmental

remediation, climate change adaptation, and ensuring or

enhancing air quality. Others may work in the research,

design, and consulting services sector where they perform

"indirect jobs" related to the green economy involving

activities such as energy consulting or research and other

related business services.

The Green Economy


Management



Architects play an important role in the emerging green

economy by creating designs that are friendly to the

environment and follow smart growth and sustainable

design principles. In general, this type of architecture

tries to reduce the negative impact of structures on the

environment by improving the efficient use of materials,

energy, and building space.

The Green Economy


Management



The Green Economy

Construction Managers can play an important role in the

emerging green economy. The primary difference between

the work of green Construction Managers and the duties

of their conventional counterparts lies in their ability to

implement environmentally friendly materials and

technologies. This creates a more ecofriendly construction

project.


Management


Civil Engineers

The Green Economy

Civil Engineers will play an important role in the emerging green

economy. Some will assist with the research and design of

sustainable materials used for construction or energy-efficient

structures. They will work within the renewable energy generation

sector, developing and designing projects that use renewable energy

sources, such as solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass. In addition,

Civil Engineers will work in the green construction sector, using

green technologies to design new structures or retrofit existing ones.

They will work in the transportation sector, developing and designing

new ways to reduce the environmental impacts of various

transportation projects. Engineers are also involved in

environmental protection, such as remediation, air quality, and

climate change adaptation.

The Green Economy

Green economy activities and technologies would most

likely have an effect on Civil Engineers. The

advancements in technology may cause changes to the

work and worker requirements, such as new tasks, skills,

knowledge, and credentials.


Management



The Green Economy

Mechanical Engineers will play an important role in the

emerging green economy. Some will assist with the

research and design of renewable energy components

or energy-efficient systems. Others will work on green

construction technology or transportation-related

solutions to reduce environmental impacts.


Management



The Green Economy

Electrical Engineers will play an important role in the emerging

green economy. They may assist with the research and design of

energy-efficient systems, such as “smart grids.” They may also

work within the renewable energy generation sector developing,

designing, and testing products using energy sources such as

solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass. Some Engineers may work

with traditional non-renewable sources (oil, coal, gas, and nuclear)

that are undergoing green technological changes. In addition,

Electrical Engineers may work in the green construction sector,

installing green technology into new green buildings or retrofitting

existing residential and commercial buildings.
