Sustainable development theory has come from the field of ecological economics. According to this theory, sustainable development involves achieving objectives in three realms: ecological, economic and social. The ecological objective is maintaining a sustainable scale of energy and material flows through the environment such that carrying capacity of the biosphere is not affected. The economic objective seeks to provide an efficient allocation of resources in conformity with consumer preferences and the ability to pay. The social objective aims at a just distribution of resources among the public, including future generations. The overall objective of a sustainable society is the achievement of sustainability in economic, ecological and social systems.

Humanity has the ability to make development sustainable – to ensure
that it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs
-From Our Common Future (The Brundtland Report) – Report of the 1987 World
Commission on Environment and Development.

6. • Sustainable development theory has come from the field of ecological economics.
According to this theory, sustainable development involves achieving objectives
in three realms: ecological, economic and social.
• The ecological objective is maintaining a sustainable scale of energy and material
flows through the environment such that carrying capacity of the biosphere is not
affected.
• The economic objective seeks to provide an efficient allocation of resources in
conformity with consumer preferences and the ability to pay.
• The social objective aims at a just distribution of resources among the public,
including future generations.

7. What is Ethics
Ethics is based on well-founded standards of right and wrong that prescribe
what humans ought to do, usually in terms of rights, obligations, benefits to
society, fairness, or specific virtues.

8. Engineering Ethics

9. Engineering ethics is the field of applied ethics and system of moral principles that
apply to the practice of engineering. The field examines and sets the obligations by
engineers to society, to their clients, and to the profession. As a scholarly discipline, it
is closely related to subjects such as the philosophy of science, the philosophy of
engineering, and the ethics of technology.

10. Continued
An important goal of engineering ethics is the discovery of the set of moral principles
of obligation, rights and ideals that should be endorsed by the engineers and apply
them to relevant situations. Engineering is the largest profession and the decisions and
actions of engineers affect all of us in almost all areas of our lives, namely public
safety, health, and welfare.

11. Engineering Ethics and Sustainable
Development

12. How engineering ethics and sustainable
development related?
• decrease the adverse environmental and social parts of engineered products,
services and infrastructure.
• significantly improve their environmental performance.
• improve the contribution of engineering products, services and infrastructure to a
high quality of social standards and human living.
• help society to move towards a significantly more-sustainable lifestyle

13. Example of Engineering And Sustainability

14. Internet of Things (IoT) for Sustainable Development
Over the last few decades we have seen a new change in technology world.
Tech is being used to employe to make the world a better place. Current
generation of entrepreneurs have developed an entire industry around clean
energy with help IoT empowering in wind and solar.
Nowadays, entire organizations exist aiming to make the world a better place.
American car manufacturer Tesla’s main mission is "to accelerate the world’s
transition to sustainable energy". Its founder Elon Musk emphasises that CO2
reduction is a key goal.

15. Continued
IoT projects which main priority is to address sustainable development
challenges are crucial, but an even greater impact could be achieved by
prioritizing sustainability goals within commercially driven projects.
Identifying sustainability goals and adopting an impact measurement
framework will reveal opportunities for replicating successful solutions across
untapped areas.

16. CONCLUSION :
•Engineers in various professional field posses important responsibility of
supporting the principal of Sustainable growth.
•Sustainable development deals with various existing needs such as from accessing
naturally available reserves while also preserving and enhancing the surrounding
environmental quality.
•The use of natural resources must be done wisely so that the adverse impact on the
people as well as on the environment is minimised, thereby creating maximum
positive impact.
•Sustainable development is a challenge to meet current human needs from naturally
available resources, engineering merchandises , energy, food stuff, transportation,
shelter and efficient management while conserving and enhancing environmental
quality.

17. • Therefore each and every engineer must give effort to protect and to conserve the
biophysical and socio economic urban environment .
● Therefore sustainable engineering plays a vital role in human life with respect to
social, economic and cultural development.
