Engineering for Sustainable Development: Theory and Practice

In Engineering for Sustainable Development: Theory and Practice, a team  of distinguished academics deliver a comprehensive, education-focused  discussion on sustainable engineering, bridging the gap between theory  and practice by drawing upon illuminating case studies and the latest  cutting-edge research. In the book, readers will find an introduction to  the sustainable development agenda and sustainable technology  development, as well as practical methods and tools for the development  and implementation of sustainable engineering solutions. The book  highlights the critical role of engineers and the engineering profession  in providing sustainability leadership as well as important  future-focused solutions to support engineering global sustainable  development.

The book offers a wide range of civil, mechanical,  electrical, and chemical engineering industry applications. Readers will  also benefit from:
A thorough introduction to contemporary  sustainability challenges in the engineering discipline Comprehensive  discussions of sustainability assessment tools, including triple bottom  line assessment (TBL) and the environmental life cycle assessment (LCA)  In-depth examinations of sustainable engineering strategies, including  cleaner production and eco-efficiency methods and environmental  management systems Detailed review of green engineering principles and  industrial symbiosis in engineering application. A link between product  stewardship and the design for the environment
Perfect for graduate  and senior undergraduate students in any engineering discipline,  Engineering for Sustainable Development: Theory and Practice will also  earn a place in the libraries of consultants and engineers in industry  and government with a personal or professional interest in  sustainability management.
