Sustainibility engineering projects:

Hi tank

Greetings

Your presentation of the different SEP's is quite apt, and matters of fact - well collated and brought out in "one go"

Perhaps you might have also seen the thread:

http://cr4.globalspec.com/comment/202285

The Bruntland Commission Definition is what the UN also has considered - even certain sites of "GLOBALSPEC" (the owners of CR4, if I am not wrong) have referred to this definition.

However, the idea in raking up a discussion, as aforementioned, is to evolve a more universal Engineering Systems Definition, for which a "start" has been made in our own attempt to define Sustainability Engineering. Moreover, it is also felt that at the moment the Concept of Sustainable/ Sustainability Engineering seems to have various "personalized" meanings ... almost all of them talking of Climate, Energy, Global warming etc in a loose manner, without CODIFYING and Systematizing. By these we mean the collection, collation and specifications of certain SETS of Definable and Measurable Concepts that form the Engineering Standards in Sustainability Engineering ... as in all other Professional Engineering systems (Chemical, Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, and so on)

Your experienced observations are always valued and would be our source of guidance

Hari and all,

Please note that the above presentation is not use to define SEP but to give examples of many actual working project, some well along and some yet to begin. With this definition and examples, it is hoped that many can fine those projects that most suit their talents and concerns. For years, we have heard much talk but little action. You, and a few others are taking direct action and are the pioneers in applying engineering to the real needs of humanity.

Please note, what I posted to start this phase of this topic is a section from my domain, http://www.chtank.org/, which is simply titled "Science and Related Studies". This site is divided into four sections. Education, Physics, Engineering, and Science Faction. I have also posted the Education section into the Education forum of CR4. It is my hope that by doing so, I have helped promote APIX and MESS and that others will join into these and the other projects, contrubuting directly to each or providing their own related projects. We must remember, it not only "takes a village to raise a child" but it takes a village to raise humanity. Society and mankind advances when working together as a team of collective cooperation.

The tremendous amount of spade works done by you and garth in not only exposing the themes of APIX-SEP and other such works, but also in creating a catalyst for more interactions is highly invaluable ... which no amount of rhetorics and other paraphernalia would bring forth

Your statement that "Society and mankind advances when working together as a team of collective cooperation" is well taken and accepted as sacrosanct.
