2SUSTAINABLE ENGINEERING PRACTICE
Introduction
Application of the advanced technology has been seen in various aspects of the business.
The application of engineering the lifestyle of people easier and also improves the livening
standard through its use. Sustainability can play a crucial role in the management and
maintenance of the environment through improving existing practices for nurturing the
environment. The definition of sustainability is to manage the social and environmental
betterment while accomplishing the better and sustainable methods of the engineering those can
limit the usage of the natural resources and restrict the pollution level (Kutscher, Milford and
Kreith 2018). Various factors such as, consideration of the entire system in which the processes
or objects will be used, consideration of the non-technical and technical issues synergistically,
problem solving strives for ‘infinite’ future, consideration of the global context,
acknowledgement of the interaction of the experts in many topics, and many more (Czarnecki
2017). The paper will conclude that a decision-making process which will maintain a vital role in
maintaining sustainability. The primary objective of this paper is to reflect on the current
engineering practices focusing on sustainability and environmental management factors.
Discussion
I acknowledge that sustainable practice can be highly complex practice in the present
world where most of the resources being utilized for daily operations to release wastes and
pollution. We get to know that adoption of the sustainability in the engineering practices can be
efficiently and effectively made through following the principles mentioned below in the figure:

Considering the past engineering practices, I can state that most of the engineering
practices were concerned about delivering the requirements of the project. Those projects were
not concerned about environmental and social sustainability. According to de Vriend et al.
(2015), nowadays, engineering practices maintain sustainability factors. According to Bakshi,
Ziv and Lepech(2015), the sustainability factors are managed by the decision-making during the
