3. Introduction:-
 We are living in the era of technology. Our life is almost fully handled by the technology.
 Topic “Advance and Sustainable Development in Computer Engineering and IT” gave us opportunity to summarize
and understand all the technologies of CE and IT.
 Today we will briefly discuss these advance technologies and career opportunities provided by these technologies.
 We will also discuss the role of these technologies in research and finally the conclusion of this presentation with some
references.

4. Sustainable development is the overarching paradigm of the United Nations.
 The concept of sustainable development was described in 1987 by Bruntland Commission Report as “development that
meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
 There are four dimensions to sustainable development – society, environment, culture and economy – which are
intertwined, not separate.
 Sustainability is a paradigm for thinking about the future in which environmental, societal and economic considerations
are balanced in the pursuit of an improved quality of life.
 For example, a prosperous society relies on a healthy environment to provide food and resources, safe drinking water and
clean air for its citizens. [1]

5.  One might ask, what is the difference between sustainable development and sustainability?
 Sustainability is often thought of as a long-term goal (i.e. a more sustainable world), while sustainable
development refers to the many processes and pathways to achieve it (e.g. sustainable agriculture and
forestry, sustainable production and consumption, good government, research and technology transfer,
education and training, etc.).

6.  To date, Education for Sustainable Development has been integrated into many global frameworks and
conventions related to key areas of sustainable development.
 Climate change
Article 6 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change(link is external), and its work
programmes.
 Biodiversity
Article 13 of the Convention on Biological Diversity(link is external), and its work programmes
 Disaster risk reduction
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (link is external)
 Sustainable consumption and production
 Sustainable Lifestyles and Education Programme of the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable
Consumption and Production 2012-2021. [2]

7. Articles in Sustainable Development
 Article 25 is on Biological Diversity establishes an open-ended intergovernmental scientific advisory body
known as the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice (SBSTTA)
 Out of 26 Articles of UNITED NATIONS , According to Article 1 framework convention are on climate
change[3]
 Under Article 13 Public Education and Awareness are discussed.
Cooperate, as appropriate, with other States and international organizations in developing educational and
public awareness programs, with respect to conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity [4].
 Latest trends in Engineering and IT such AI, Deep Learning IoT etc. plays important role in public
education and awareness.
 They are used in implementing ICT in public education and awareness.
 Technologies help to take education to the door step of children's and online education is the best example
during this pandamic.

8. Computational Sustainability in CE & IT
 Sustainability means meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs. In addition to natural resources, we also need social and economic resources.
 It is a broad field that attempts to balance societal, economic, and environmental resources using methods from
mathematics and computer science fields.
 Sustainability in this context is the ability to produce enough energy for the world to support its biological
systems.
 Sustainable engineering is the process of designing or operating systems such that they use energy and
resources sustainably, in other words, at a rate that does not compromise the natural environment, or the ability
of future generations to meet their own needs.
 Technology development plays a significant role in achieving SDG targets by improving the efficiency and
effectiveness of new and more sustainable ways of development.
 The creation of new technologies that foster research and stimulate innovation is thus required.

9. Now, the question arises are the computer sustainable
 Only 34% of a computer's life cycle energy consumption occurs in the 3-year use phase.
 Production dominates life cycle energy due to the high energy costs of semiconductors and short use phase.
Manufacturing represents 60-85% of life cycle energy demand for a personal computer and 50-60% for mobile
phones.
 The 6 Best Sustainable Laptops for 2022
• Lenovo TCO Certified laptops.
• Apple MacBook.
• ASUS laptops.
• Dell TCO Certified laptops.
• HP TCO Certified laptops.
• Fujitsu TCO Certified laptops.

10. Computational Sustainability is a nascent and growing field of computing that is concerned with the application of computer
science principles, methods, and tools to problems of environmental and societal sustainability.
Green computing is the environmentally responsible and eco-friendly use of computers and their resources.
In broader terms, it is also defined as the study of designing, engineering, manufacturing, using and disposing of computing
devices in a way that reduces their environmental impact.
Follow these tips for going green at your computer:
• Look for the ENERGY STAR.
• Turn Off Your Monitor.
• Adjust the Brightness.
• Don't Use a Screen Saver.
• Turn Off Peripherals.
• Leave Your Printer Off.
• Preview Before You Print.
• Print on Both Sides

11.  Computer science has another element in reducing the use of pollutants.
 It enables the presentation of environmentally friendly cooking equipment.
 For example, people are slowly changing from using firewood and charcoal gas. The sift ensures efficiency in energy
use and prevents air pollution.
 The IT for green applies computer science in creating new applications and services to ensure a sustainable
environment.
 According to Abdillah (2018), IT for green is a broad term that describes multiple efforts for replacing non-green
services with green services. The process is also called computing for sustainability.
 Computer science has influenced e-health, banking, and justice-aid applications.
 Smart things and the IoT are also helpful in determining environmental pollution levels. These strategies are efficient
in sustainable development.

12. Green IT and Green ICT
The term “Green IT” got comfortable after the production of a Gartner report in 2007 and was later on joined by “Green
Computing,” “Green Software,” “Green Software Engineering,” and “Green Information Systems (IS).”

16. Geneva meet on 29 March 2022
 GENEVA, 29 March, 2022 – Representatives from over 100 countries moved closer towards finalizing the
Principles for Resilient Infrastructure, which set a new global standard for strengthening infrastructure systems
and critical services such as energy, digital, transport, water, waste and others.
 UNDRR and the Government of Qatar hosted two days of global consultations where member states and key
institutions offered inputs that will soon become a global standard to ensure resilience of infrastructure and to
de-risk investments. [6]

17. SBSTTA 24 -Twenty-fourth meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice
Geneva, Switzerland, 14 - 29 March 2022
 The third meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Implementation (SBI 3) and the third meeting of the Open-
ended Working Group on the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework (WG2020-3), originally took
place on 14-29 March 2022, at the International Conference Center Geneva in Geneva, Switzerland.
 The Secretariat will keep these arrangements under review in light of the evolving COVID-19 pandemic.

18.  Member states agree that having a common understanding and framework for resilient infrastructure is an
important and timely issue, vital for future global security and wellbeing.
 The Principles are aligned with and will enhance current global agreements.
 They support achieving the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 9; as well as the
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 – 2030.
 Specifically, global target D of the Sendai Framework calls for substantially reducing disaster damage to critical
infrastructure and disruption of basic services.

19. The 6 Principles for Resilient Infrastructure are:
• Adaptively transforming – The goal is to adapt and transform to changing needs.
• Environmentally integrated – The goal is to work in a positively integrated way with the natural environment.
• Protected by design – The goal is to design infrastructure that is prepared for hazards.
• Socially engaged – The goal is to develop active engagement, involvement, and participation with people.
• Shared responsibility – The goal is to share information and expertise for coordinated benefits.
• Continuously learning – The goal is to develop understanding and insight into infrastructure resilience

20.  At UNESCO MGIEP, we recognize the urgent need for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) to be mainstreamed
into education systems to transform education and shape a future that is geared towards providing peace and
human flourishing.
 SEL can be described as learning that allows all learners to identify and navigate emotions, practice mindful
engagement and exhibit prosocial behavior for human flourishing towards a peaceful and sustainable planet
 UNESCO MGIEP has embarked on the ISEE Assessment to pool expertise on education in an open and
inclusive manner and produce a scientifically robust and evidence-based assessment that can inform education
policymaking at all levels and scales.
 The report is released on 22nd March 2022 at UNESCO HQ in Paris. [7]

21. Ecosystem Approach
 Ecosystem service approach is an emerging trend in sustainable management for the natural
resources industry and how it can be incorporated into existing sustainable development
planning and reporting.
 These can include essential services like access to clean drinking water and food production or
other values like recreational opportunities and aesthetics.
 More than 50 countries and 85 private companies have committed to accounting for ecosystem
services in business decision making and in countries’ national accounts.
 This trend is gaining traction in North America at unprecedented rates, as companies begin to
recognize the importance of sustainable development practices in the face of increasing
resource scarcity. [8].

22. Role of India in Sustainable Development
Even as it combats poverty, India remains committed to protecting the environment.
Under its Nationally Determined Contributions, India has ambitiously committed to reducing the emissions
intensity per unit of GDP by 33% -35% by 2030 relative to its 2005 levels.

India is committed to reduce this ICT consumption in its Sustainable Development program

23. Things we can Do
 As companies build a more positive and sustainable work culture, engineers play an important role in sustainable
development by planning and building projects that preserve natural resources, are cost-efficient and support human and
natural environments.
 The teaching of professionalism and ethics, and in particular developing an appreciation of ethical dilemmas and contexts,
is recognized as an important facet of the computing curriculum, as recognized by the Quality Assurance Agency in their
benchmark statement for computing.
 Within the HE computing curriculum, there are numerous places where sustainable development can be embedded.
 Student awareness of, and concern about, sustainable topics and professional issues, must be carried out.

24. According to Prof. J. P. Verma Vice Chancellor Sri Sri Aniruddhadeva Sports University Chabua
 In the last two decades, India had spent only around 0.6% of its GDP on research and development while
the US spends more than 2.5% of its GDP despite being a leader in academic research. China, which in
2000 was spending around 0.7% has quickly caught up with the US levels and now spends 2.1% of its
GDP on R&D.
 Thus, a larger share of our budget needs to be spent to raise the quality of research in our academic
institutions.

25.  In any empirical research, researchers are interested to know how much an identified
intervention is effective in improving the parameter of interest.
 But a small sample may not detect the difference and in a large sample, even a small effect may
show a significant effect.
 Therefore, the researchers must decide how much effect and power he/she is expecting before
organizing the experiment.
 Based on these two crucial parameters and other boundary conditions, the size of the sample is
determined in the experiment.
 Thus, there is no concept of a small or large sample but one should scientifically select the
sample size and power in hypothesis testing experiments as well as in survey studies for reliable
conclusions.

26.  Besides sample size and power, the researcher should test the assumptions associated with
the statistical techniques used in their data analysis for ensuring the reliability of the
findings.
 Reviews have become rituals nowadays whereas it helps us to shape the experiment.
 The most neglected parts of the thesis are research questions, testing assumptions, sample
size determination, fixing effect size, and power. And justifying research designs.
 Proposed to develop a Centre for Quality Check in each university for guiding and
monitoring researchers at all levels especially the Ph.D. programs.
 Existing centers responsible for research may assume this responsibility.
 Once, these centers are developed, orientation courses for the guides in different
departments may be organized for following quality benchmarks in guiding research.
