This course is suitable for individuals who are interested in learning more about engineering trends, who would like to get involved in practical design activities and attain the skills required to address global challenges. 

It will provide students with the opportunity to meet top international researchers and professionals from sustainability areas.

Sustainable engineering refers to the integration of social, environmental, and economic considerations into product, process, and energy system design methods. Additionally, sustainable engineering encourages the consideration of the complete product and process lifecycle during the design effort. The intent is to minimize environmental impacts across the entire lifecycle while simultaneously maximizing the benefits to social and economic stakeholders. 

Participants who attend this course would have an understanding of the following - 

• Heightened awareness of issues in areas of sustainability (e.g., global warming, ozone layer depletion, deforestation, pollution, ethical issues, fair trade, gender equity, etc.)
• A clear understanding of the role and impacts of various aspects of engineering (design, technology, etc.) and engineering decisions on environmental, societal, and economic problems. Particular emphasis is placed on the potential trade-offs between environmental, social, and economic objectives
• Strong ability to apply engineering and decision-making tools and methodologies to sustainability-related problems
• Demonstrated capacity to distinguish professional and ethical responsibilities associated with the practice of engineering

Technical in nature, the program equips engineers with the tools they need to meet the challenges associated with delivering goods, energy, and services through sustainable means. Through a balanced provision of fundamental and technical knowledge, practical application, students will be equipped with the necessary qualitative and quantitative analytical tools and skills, and further develop essential professional skills, that will enable them to tackle the evolving, complex local and global sustainable development issues and challenges.
