Introduction
The reflective report is based on integrating learning acquired from module ENEG20001
Australian engineering practice. With the help of this report, I am going to discuss engineers'
roles, responsibilities as well as the requirement to employ principles of sustainable
development. Apart from this, knowledge regarding managing information and thereby
documentation will also be demonstrated. In addition, I will narrate learning regarding
effective communication all across a wide range of contexts in this modern era.

Task 3
This section is dedicated to discussing engineers’ roles, responsibilities as well as the
requirement of employing principles of sustainable development (SD).
What?
In the context of the principles of SD, I have found that the Trevelyan textbook was very
helpful for the entire team working during the module. I played a key role as a leader while
working in my team and learning acquired from the textbook helped me to manage my team
effectively (Moldan, 2012). From the definition perspective, sustainability in engineering is
the subject or area where people or humans learn how to exist constantly. In this century,
sustainability in engineering refers to the capacity for the biosphere as well as a human
civilization to coexist constantly in the long future. In this context, I believe that ‘better’ is
the stage that is improved from the current one so that the future can be made bright and
sustainable. There are so many ways with which SD can lead to better engineering solutions.
In addition, studying into this module made me realize that personal values play an important
role in finding solutions to situations of ethical conflicts. The module also helped me to
realize the impacts of such personal values on my life and workplace (Malekpour et al.,
2015).
So what?
While studying the principles of SD, I felt that three major principles include environmental,
social and economic, which are useful for realizing the importance of sustainability in
