Teaching Perspectives

I attached the TPI results I received when I took this survey. My result was high for Developmental and Social Reform. This seemed to arouse some questions in the class on what an engineer can feel for Social Reform. As a quick view of where mechanical engineering can be used to speak a language of Social reform, we simply look at needs. What needs are there? Who needs it?
