Current engineering curricula tend to devote little time to subjects outside the core curricula. If sustainability themes are addressed in universities, the coverage is likely to be brief. This book has the aim to offer new engineers knowledge to help them navigate the myriad of terms and concepts related to “sustainability.” These various terms are carelessly thrown around without any real common understanding of what they mean, leaving them open to individual interpretation. Engineering graduates need a holistic understanding of sustainable development and the role that engineering can play in meeting important social and economic goals.
While many higher education institutions have recognized this need and made moves to address it, it is still a challenge to include sustainability teaching within degree programs as a contextual focus for engineering design and problem solving. This book aims to address this challenge, help engineering educators incorporate sustainability into their curricula without adding separate courses, and provide key reading and learning materials
on sustainability of which our newly minted engineers should be aware. A key feature of the book is case studies that are drawn from a range of sectors to demonstrate the various tools and approaches while at the same time recognizing the different needs of the different branches of engineering. Exercises are included at the end of every chapter to test the grasp of the key concepts and ideas being developed in the text. Useful websites on sustainable engineering are given throughout the text.
