What is Sustainable Engineering? (New Research Focus)

Sustainable Engineering may be defined as engineering for human development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (Bruntland Commission, 1987). Today's engineers are helping to solve some of the major problems facing  our society -  Provision of  study in specialist, advanced engineering technologies underpinned with training in sustainability is fast becoming a necessity for all academia institutions.

        effective use of materials and energy to mitigate associated environmental impacts,

        the application of concepts such as life-cycle analysis,

       disassembly and re-use within the design process.

       understanding of modern, sustainable engineering.

       designing products and processes so that wastes from  product can be recycled as an inputs to another product

       To prepare for challenges that the future will bring , engineers will need to understand the impact of their decisions

       built systems that can  be adapted by  working closely with planners, decision makers, and the general public.

       efficient renewable energies and greener transport.
