Udupi, August 27: Choose good things by analyzing carefully and always “Think global and act local”, was the priceless gem of an advise given by Dr Charles Trit, the assistant lecturer of American Milveki School of Engineering, after the inauguration ceremony of the 14th Twinning programme of International Centre for Applied Science (AIKAS), of Manipal.

 Dr Trit further informed that reforms carried out in the field of communication, transportation and health has brought about global outlook among engineers, architects and other professionals. He opined that issues such as population explosion has given rise to problems such as climate changes, limited supply of fuel and many other related matters.

Dr Trit touching on the topic of modern transport and communication technology informed that while it does build relations, at the same time creates responsibilities too. Giving an instance he stated that environmental pollution is caused in China by fumes and pollutants let off by the textile factories, and the commercial market for such Chinese textiles is in the US. And hence, he concluded that America too is partially responsible for such a cause. From this example he inferred that, facing such type of challenges is our responsibility. Engineers should think about all kinds of possibilities, Dr Trit averred.
