Analysis and Evaluation of Engineering Sustainability Report

This report summarizes and evaluates an engineering document focused on sustainability. The summary highlights the crucial role of professional engineers in sustainable development, emphasizing their responsibility in creating infrastructure and innovative technologies that minimize environmental impact and promote resource recycling. The document outlines the goal of sustainable development as meeting present needs without compromising future generations, along with six key sustainability principles: ecosystem conservation, societal development, biodiversity preservation, human resource protection, cultural heritage conservation, and building a community within the Earth's capacity. The evaluation assesses the report's effectiveness in targeting engineering professionals, its focus on technology and methods like waste management, and its clear language. It also notes the document's limitations in providing detailed implementation procedures but emphasizes its positive impact in encouraging sustainability within engineering education and practice. The report concludes that the document effectively covers the scope and methods of sustainability, making it a valuable resource for engineers.

SUMMARY
a) Role of professional engineers in sustainability.
Engineers have significant role in sustainable development. They play crucial role of creating
infrastructure in world. They can also be termed as problem solver as they apply their knowledge
& experience for building projects serving human needs. They prepare s the techniques that
reduce environmental destructions and facilitate recycling of resources for sustainability.
b) Goal of Sustainable development.
Sustainable development refers to meeting needs of present without sacrificing the needs
of future generations. Goal of sustainable development is to ensure that human needs are
satisfied in manner that future generations are also left with enough resources for meeting their
needs.
c) 6 principles on sustainability.
These are the six sustainability principles :
 Conservation of ecosystem.
 Development of society.
 Conservation of biodiversity.
 Protecting the human resources.
 Conservation of the cultural heritage.
 Creating community that is within capacity of earth.
EVALUATION
The above report is was addressed to the engineering professional as they have the key
responsibilities of development. They should create an environment that least affects the
environment and could innovate technologies that meet the demands of society without affecting
the environment (Carley and Christie, 2017)
. Key idea of the article was to invent technology and methods like recyclable resources, waste
management and such like techniques.
The text has been written to drag the attention of engineering professionals of various
fields to ensure that they help the society to fulfil their needs. All the development and
innovation take place by engineers in the society from shortest to biggest. Therefore this will
1

encourage to develop new technology and to use the available resources in most efficient way so
that future generations have enough resources for meeting their needs. The language clearly
targets the engineers to take their roles and responsibilities for sustainability. There are various
types of engineers like electrical, chemical, infrastructure and many more.
The document contains do not have detailed information regarding the procedures to be
followed by the engineers for maintaining sustainability. Information provided in the article is
relevant and also to the point which makes it clear to the reader about the motive of this article.
Information given is balanced in this article and provides the relevant information.
The document is effective as it cover all the scope and methods of sustainability. It also
provides the information provided will have positive impact over the engineers and education
institutes. They will be encouraging the students and professionals to work in accordance with
sustainability. The text may also provide the methods of implementation of change process to
achieve sustainability. Just pointing out the problem and requirement of changes is not enough.
The layout of the article is adequate and attract the attention to specific points by its headings
and subheadings like engineering professionals, education institutes and like (Weaver and et.al.,
2017). The language used is also understandable to the readers as too much technical language is
not included. The formal language has been used in the article and clearly states the intention of
sustainability.
