在科罗拉多大学机械工程专业的一群大四学生身上获得的经验，导致了印度工程专业学生的一次非正式实验。一个试图定性衡量学生的能力，欣赏世界观不同于标准的工程世界观的机械宇宙。有机和机械系统之间的质的差异被用作讨论的一个点。这两组被发现表现出不同的思想和行为模式，提供了重要的线索，敏感的工程师在未来的教育活动的环境问题。这些举措的跨文化和全球层面进行了讨论。
Experience with a group of mechanical engineering seniors at the University of Colorado led to an informal experiment with engineering students in India. An attempt was made to qualitatively gauge the students’ ability to appreciate a worldview different from the standard engineering worldview—that of a mechanical universe. Qualitative differences between organic and mechanical systems were used as a point of discussion. Both groups were found to exhibit distinct thought and behavior patterns which provide important clues for sensitizing engineers to environmental issues in future educational initiatives. Cross-cultural and global dimensions of these initiatives are discussed.
