Green Engineering : Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Design

This is a primary text project that combines sustainability development with engineering entrepreneurship and design to present a transdisciplinary approach to modern engineering education. The book is distinguished by extensive descriptions of concepts in sustainability, its principles, and its relevance to environment, economy, and society. It can be read by all engineers regardless of their disciplines as well as by engineering students as they would be future designers of products and systems. This book presents a flexible organization of knowledge in various fields, which allows to be used as a text in a number of courses including for example, engineering entrepreneurship and design, engineering innovation and leadership, and sustainability in engineering design.

• Highlights contemporary pedagogies and approaches for teaching and learning in a technologically enriched world.
• Includes chapter objectives that informs the reader of the topics and concepts up for discussion.
• Provides in-depth coverage of sustainability concepts and principles in every subject under investigation.
• Features cutting-edge case activities at the conclusion of each chapter that mirror the kinds of situations encountered by students, professionals, and academics.
• Underscores collaborative knowledge creation and competence tasks that are adaptable to every discipline discussed.
