Sustainable Engineering: An Essential Part of Engineering EthicsBikramjit Hazra
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.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT - WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE T...vijay kumar sarabu
There is direct relationship between environment and economic development. Economic development without environmental considerations can cause serious environmental damage in turn impairing the quality of life of present and future generations. In the process of economic development, the environmental problems have been ignored or less concentrated. Any country’s environmental problems are related to the level of its economic development, the availability of natural resources and the lifestyle of its population. In India, rapid growth of population, poverty, urbanization, industrialization and several related factors are responsible for the rapid degradation of the environment. Environmental problems have become serious in many parts of the country, and hence cannot be ignored. The main environmental problems in India relate to air and water pollution particularly in metropolitan cities and industrial zones, degradation of common property resources (Tanks, Ponds Lakes, Rivers, Forests etc.) which affect the poor adversely as they depends on them for their livelihood, threat to biodiversity and inadequate system of solid waste disposal and sanitation with consequent adverse impact on health, infant mortality and birth rate.
The paper arises many questions related to issues covered under the concept of sustainable development. Sustainable development mainly focuses on quality of life which is highly dependent upon use of natural resources and thus these resources must be sustained. The present concept of sustainable global enterprise will help to achieve three basic goals known as corporate responsibility, environmental protection and social responsiveness. The concept of sustainable development also focuses on issues related to women as they play a significant role in policy of sustainable development. Women issues are basically linked with population and fertility. The development process worldwide has contributed to increase in economic and social inequalities, environment degradation and has also led to growth in poverty.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. Meaning of Sustainability
In ecology, sustainability is the capacity to endure;
it is how biological systems remain diverse and
productive indefinitely. The organizing principle for
sustainability is sustainable development, which
includes the four interconnected domains: ecology,
economics, politics and culture.
Sustainable development
Sustainable development (SD) is a process for
meeting human development goals while
maintaining the ability of natural systems to
continue to provide the natural resources and
ecosystem services upon which the economy and
society depend. Sustainable development ties
together concern for the carrying capacity of
natural systems with the social, political, and
economic challenges faced by humanity.
Sustainable development is the organizing
principle for sustaining finite resources necessary
to provide for the needs of future generations of
life on the planet.
3. SUSTAINING HUMAN SOCIETIES
Almost half of the world’s population lives in urban
areas and half in rural areas. Government policies,
poverty, lack of land to grow food, declining
agricultural jobs, famine, and war that force people
out of rural areas are all factors that determine how
urban areas develop. Urban areas are rarely self-
sustaining, threaten biodiversity, destroy and
damage ecosystems, lack trees, grow little of their
own food, concentrate pollutants and noise, spread
infectious disease, and are centers of poverty,
crimes, and terrorism. Urban areas relying on mass
transportation spread vertically and urban areas
relying on automobiles spread horizontally.
Advantages of automobiles include convenience,
personal benefits, and boosted economies,
Disadvantages include air pollution, promotion of
urban sprawl, increase in death rate, and time-and
gas-wasting traffic jams. Advantages of bicycles and
motor scooters include low cost, little to no air or
noise pollution, require little space, and are energy
efficient. Disadvantages include little accident
4. protection, impractical for long distances, can be
tiring, little parking, and gas scooter engines emit
high air pollution. Mass transit rail systems are more
energy efficient than cars, produce lower air
pollution, require less land, cause fewer injuries and
deaths, and reduce car congestion. Disadvantages
include high cost to build and maintain, rigid
schedules, noise pollution, and they are cost
effective only in densely populated areas. Buses are
more flexible than rail systems, can easily be
rerouted, cost less to develop, and can reduce car
use. Disadvantages include rigid schedules, noise
pollution, and they are not always cost efficient.
Rapid rail systems can reduce car and plane travel,
are ideal for long trips, and re more efficient than
cars and planes. Disadvantages include high
operation and maintenance cost, noise pollution, and
they are not always cost efficient. Cities can be made
more sustainable and more desirable places to live
by creating parks, greenbelts, urban growth
boundaries, cluster developments, mixed-use
villages, greenways, and Eco cities.
5. The general definition of economic sustainability
is the ability of an economy to support a defined
level of economic production indefinitely.
It has been suggested that because of rural poverty
and overexploitation, environmental resources
should be treated as important economic assets,
called natural capital. Economic development has
traditionally required a growth in the gross
domestic product. This model of unlimited personal
and GDP growth may be over. Sustainable
development may involve improvements in the
quality of life for many but may necessitate a
decrease in resource consumption.
6. Environmental sustainability involves making
decisions and taking action that are in the interests of
protecting the natural world, with particular
emphasis on preserving the capability of the
environment to support human life. It is an important
topic at the present time, as people are realizing the
full impact that businesses and individuals can have
on the environment. Basically the world's standard
definition of environmental sustainability is
sustainable development, which means sustainable
economic growth, which is an oxymoron. No form
of economic growth can be continued indefinitely.
Furthermore, all economic growth today is terribly
environmentally degrading. Environmental
sustainability is about making responsible decisions
that will reduce your business' negative impact on
the environment. It is not simply about reducing the
amount of waste you produce or using less energy,
7. but is concerned with developing processes that will
lead to businesses becoming completely sustainable
in the future.
Currently, environmental sustainability is a topical
issue that receives plenty of attention from the media
and from different governmental departments. This
is a result of the amount of research going into
assessing the impact that human activity can have on
the environment.
Businesses can potentially cause damage to all areas
of the environment. Some of the common
environmental concerns include:
damaging rainforests and woodlands through
logging and agricultural clearing
polluting and over-fishing of oceans, rivers and
lakes
polluting the atmosphere through the burning of
fossil fuels
damaging prime agricultural and cultivated land
through the use of unsustainable farming
practices
8. Education for Sustainable Development
Education is an essential tool for achieving
sustainability. People around the world
recognize that current economic development
trends are not sustainable and that public
awareness, education, and training are key to
moving society toward sustainability. Through
education for sustainable living, students gain
9. knowledge, skills, and values to address the
environmental and social challenges of the
coming decades. They learn to think
ecologically, understand the
interconnectedness of human and natural
systems, and develop the capacity to apply this
understanding so that human communities and
natural ecosystems may thrive. Education for
Sustainable Development allows every human
being to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes
and values necessary to shape a sustainable
future. Education for Sustainable Development
means including key sustainable development
issues into teaching and learning; for example,
climate change, disaster risk reduction,
10. biodiversity, poverty reduction, and sustainable
consumption.
Sustainable development is largely about people,
their well-being, and equity in their relationships
with each other, in a context where nature-society
imbalances can threaten economic and social
stability. Because climate change, its drivers, its
impacts and its policy responses will interact with
economic production and services, human
settlements and human societies, climate change is
likely to be a significant factor in the sustainable
development of many areas.
Impacts of climate change on development paths
also include impacts of climate-change response
11. policies, which can affect a wide range of
development-related choices, from energy sources
and costs to industrial competitiveness to patterns
of tourism.
