Sustainable Development in Practice for Engineers and Scientist (1st Editon).pdf

This book is about sustainable development and its implications for science and
engineering practice. It is aimed at engineering and science students and educators as
well as practising engineers and scientists.
An important thesis in this book is that sustainable development imposes new
responsibilities on the ‘‘expert’’, which demand a re-examination of the professional
roles of engineers and scientists. However, we also argue that the new role actually
makes the profession more attractive, requiring personal skills as well as technical
expertise.
