Engineering and sustainable development are intrinsically linked. All
capital plant and every consumable product depends on an engineering input
through design, manufacture and operation, if not for the product itself
then for the equipment required to process and transport the raw materials
and the final product.

Many aspects of sustainable development depend directly on appropriate and
timely actions by engineers. Engineering is an extended process of analysis,
synthesis, evaluation and execution and, therefore, it is argued that
engineers must be involved from the outset of any proposal to develop
sustainable solutions.

Engineering embraces many disciplines and truly sustainable solutions are
usually inter-disciplinary in nature. Sustainable solutions have not only an
environmental dimension but also economic and social dimensions, thus
extending the multi-disciplinary nature beyond engineering.

The International Journal of Sustainable Engineering is predicated on the
need for engineers to have access to a source of information and an
opportunity to share, through publication, new ideas and solutions for
sustainable development.

Researchers from both academia and industry are invited to submit papers on
their recent research into problems related to reducing the environmental
impacts of engineered systems, processes and products. The International
Journal of Sustainable Engineering also welcomes papers that include
economic and social components that complement the engineering dimension,
consider the management of sustainable engineering, or address the modelling
of sustainable engineering solutions.

* Engineering design for sustainable development
