The Conversion of International Cargo Containers into Lower Cost Housing

Engineering educators have long recognized the importance of the humanities in the curriculum for engineering students. Over the past twenty years, this recognition has been translated into a set of requirements for electives, and accreditation of an engineering curriculum in a University by the Engineering Council for Professional Development and is based, in part, on a minimum number of credits being taken in the humanities. At the University of Denver for example, a minimum of 24 credit hours is required in the humanities out of a total of 188 credit hours for an engineering degree. Although we live in a world today where almost everything we touch, taste, smell, or breathe is affected to some extent by science and technology, a student in the humanities is not obliged to learn very much about science and technology. Only fifteen credit hours in science are required, and these may be taken in the largely nonmathematical disciplines of biology, geography, or geology.
