Operationalizing Sustainability Principles in the Engineering Profession
The engineering profession has responded to the issue of sustainable development in two main ways. It has responded through public policy statements that acknowledge the magnitude of the problem in addition to pledging to steer engineering towards a more sustainable future, and it has also responded more directly through technological innovation. In this paper, these two responses will be explo...
متن کاملRE4ES: Support Environmental Sustainability by Requirements Engineering
[Motivation:] Environmental sustainability is an important concern. Information and communication technology (ICT) innovation is ambivalently positioned with regard to our rapid development and shortening innovation cycles. On one hand, information technology facilitates the (excessive) usage of resources. On the other hand, ICT can also help to significantly reduce human impact on the environm...
متن کاملContextualizing Environmental Sustainability in Design Engineering Curricula
Consideration of environmental sustainability is significantly altering the nature of the mechanical design process. This necessitates integration of sustainability related learning content in design engineering curricula. Although various frameworks for teaching sustainable design exist, a survey conducted among practicing student engineers shows the presence of significant knowledge gaps. To ...
متن کاملIntegration of chemical engineering, environmental engineering, and bioengineering to facilitate research and education in nanotechnology, biotechnology, and sustainability.
E nvironmental engineering education has a traditional engineering foundation that includes a heavy emphasis on the physical sciences. In contrast, the disciplines of chemical engineering and bioengineering are founded on a strong combination of the physical, chemical, and biological sciences. We believe that the environmental engineering profession needs to address whether to shift from the tr...
متن کاملNegabehaviors and Environmental Sustainability
Helping people learn to adopt more pro-social lifestyles usually involves persuading them to take new, beneficial actions. However, certain pro-social goals, such as achieving environmental sustainability, also require people to stop performing harmful actions—people are commonly instructed to drive less, use less electricity, and otherwise reduce the amount of resources they consume and waste ...
