Sustainable Engineering: Principles and Implementation

Sustainable Engineering: Principles and Implementation

Catherine Mulligan
0/5 ( ratings)
Sustainable Engineering: Principles and Implementation
provides a comprehensive overview of the interdisciplinary field of sustainability as it applies to engineering and methods for implementation of sustainable practices. Due to increasing constraints on resources and on the environment and effects of climate change, engineers are being faced with new challenges. While it is generally believed that the concepts of sustainable design must be adhered to so that future generations may be protected, the execution and practice of these concepts are very difficult. It is therefore the focus of this book to give both a conceptual understanding as well as practical skills to apply sustainable engineering principles to engineering design.



This book introduces relevant theory, principles, and ethical expectations for engineers, presents concepts related to industrial ecology, green engineering, and eco-design, and details frameworks that indicate the challenges and constraints of applying sustainable development principles. It describes the tools, protocols, and guidelines that are currently available through case studies and examples from around the world. The book is designed to be used by undergraduate and graduate students in any engineering program and other programs in which sustainability is taught, in addition to practicing scientists and engineers and all others concerned with the sustainability of products, projects and processes.



Specific Features:



Discusses sources of contaminants and their impact on the environment



Addresses sustainable assessment techniques, policies, protocols and guidelines



Describes new tools and technologies for achieving sustainable engineering



Includes social and economic sustainability dimensions



Offers case studies demonstrating implementation of sustainable engineering practices
