US News & World Report (4/15, Grose) reports, "A sustainability sensibility is sweeping through and transforming the curricula in America's colleges of engineering. ... Eighty percent of respondents to a recent survey of U.S. engineering schools by the Center for Sustainable Engineering said they have introduced sustainable engineering material into their classrooms." According to David T. Allen, a chemical engineering professor at the University of Texas–Austin and one of the study's authors, the field is "very much in growth mode." Companies are interested because of regulatory and consumer demands, as well as potential cost savings and access to "the growing pile of government money aimed at green research." And according to educators, "the biggest driver of all is student demand, particularly at the graduate level." Brian Thorn of the Rochester Institute of Technology said that there are many "students who want to engage in what I call 'engineering that you can feel good about.'"
