Call for Papers- Special Session: 6th International Conference on Multi-Disciplinary Research Studies and Education (ICMDRSE-2023), Malaysia, Track 1: Engineering disciplines Organized by IFERP in Association with Samarkand State University, Uzbekistan, 19-20 May 2023

2023

One of the primary motives of the 6th International Conference on MultiDisciplinary Research Studies and Education (ICMDRSE-2023) to be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on the 19th-20th May 2023 is to spur unique discoveries in terms of countering conventional challenges faced in everyday engineering activities and technologies. Technology is progressing at a very fast pace, which currently is weighing heavily on the earth's bounty of natural resources and causing serious damage to the environment. The price for this large-scale and mass expansion in all forms of daily life is being paid for in the form of climate change. Today, dangerous pollution levels and global environmental degradation endangers the very existence of life on our planet. Now, more than ever, there is an urgent need for professionals from all sectors of engineering and science to come together and work together to find sustainable solutions to sustain economic growth without harming the environment in any way whatsoever. It is unquestionably necessary to devise new strategies and improved technologies that are environmentally self-sustaining. Scientific discoveries and technological innovations to meet the demands of the waste management, energy sector, the manufacturing sector, industrial automation, transportation, and other sectors, must now focus on the ecological footprint. The conference will cover topics from diverse disciplines to bestow their innovative schemes for sustainable growth.

Science, Engineering and Industry: Innovation for Sustainable Development

The conclusions and recommendations of the ISTIC-UNESCO-WFEO Workshop on Science, Engineering and Industry: Innovation for Sustainable Development, were included within the final declaration of the World Congress “Engineering 2010 – Argentina” and presented at the meetings of the Young Engineers Forum Chapter, the Engineering Education for Sustainable Development Chapter, and the Professional Engineering Practice Chapter. Last but not least, they were included within the general Conclusions of the Congress and, as such, read to all the participants of at the final ceremony by the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) authorities. Both the Congress and the Workshop conclusions and recommendations are also included in this book. In order to give further follow up to the conclusions and recommendations of this Workshop, it is necessary to rise the importance of these issues needs to be addressed within the framework of WFEO, ISTIC, UNESCO and institutions related with engineers globally. To this end it was proposed to bring to the attention of the WFEO General Assembly schedule for September 2011, the initiative of creating a WFEO Committee on Science, Engineering and Innovation to further the initial work carried out in Buenos Aires and to advance towards higher goals in the future. Finally we want to emphasize the need for support some of the main conclusions and recommendations of this Workshops, such as: 1) to promote the participation of governments of less developed countries in order to consolidate stronger and more able National Innovation Systems (NIS), by reviewing institutional frameworks and linkages between public and private actors, and by giving particular attention to the role of engineers; 2) to promote higher levels of investment in applied technologies and engineering projects from international and multilateral banks and financial institutions with global impact; 3) to convey to the preparatory meetings for the UN “Rio + 20” Conference, to be held next 2012 in Brazil, the importance of stimulating productive innovation particularly in less and intermediate developed countries as a sustainable strategy for growth and development, paying particular attention to the differences with the more advanced countries, searching for valid alternatives to foster capital risk investments in technology-oriented projects. This idea could even be extended towards a proposal for developing a set of millennium goals for innovation in less developed countries.

Engineering Towards a Sustainable Future

2014

The population of the world is increasing at an alarming rate demanding the large volume of construction work resulting in various environmental impacts and threatening the availability of resources for future generation. The production of large volume of waste products, release of GHGs and energy consumption by construction activities is increasing day by day. There is an immediate necessity to act promptly for the better future by changing today’s world i.e. switching to sustainable development. There is considerably a greater responsibility in the hand of civil engineers for the change through effective use of minimal available resources, various alternative uses, reduction and reuse principle and effective management of present resources. Steel and cement, being the chief building material, effective action must be taken for the minimum use of these construction materials either by reducing the use through effective design or by using the alternatives.

The 1st International Conference on Sustainable Technology Development "Sustainable Technology Based on Environmental and Cultural Awarenes"

ICSTD, 2012

Bali has seen relatively rapid infrastructure development to support its status as the main tourist destination in Indonesia. This has transformed the island into a province that enjoys good economy thus achieves relatively good living standard for most of its population. However, some villages in Bali are still without access to electricity due to reasons associated with topography of the villages in which they are mostly located in high mountainous area or deep in the valleys. Such topographical characteristic has hindered the expansion of utility’s grid due to high initial cost and less attractive energy sales in the village. Meanwhile, world has recognized that electricity is a necessary support for achieving many of the millennium development goals that set to improve the quality of human life. Moreover, our constitutional mandates stipulate that earth, water and any resources thereof should be utilized to benefit our citizen irrespective of geographical and topographical condition of their location. The research reported here is the result of investigation on the current status of un-electrified sub-villages around Bali. Based on our research, the amount of power required to electrify those areas is less than two megawatt. Solutions to provide electricity to the affected area are discussed. Discussion includes the availability of local resources such as natural, social and human resources available in those areas in view of developing locally managed energy plants. Renewable generation technology such as solar photovoltaic, microhydro and wind turbine is discussed in order to provide a green and sustainable electrical energy supply for basic use in the affected area around Bali.

Advancing Sustainable Development: Emerging Factors and Futures for the Engineering Field

Sustainability

This study set out to identify emerging trends in advancing engineering for sustainable development, supporting the engineering workforce to address wicked problems, and strengthening pathways between engineering education, industry, and policy. The following question guided this work: What are the emerging factors impacting the future of global sustainability efforts within engineering, and how can these be amplified to increase the impact of engineering for sustainable development? Using an adapted Delphi method with surveys, focus groups, and member-checking interviews, we hosted the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) 2022 Engineering Global Development (EGD) Stakeholder Summit. The summit convened industry leaders, innovators, and academics to explore emerging factors impacting the future of global sustainability efforts in engineering. This manuscript synthesizes emerging trends and proposes recommendations for engineering, particularly in the specific focus area o...

Industrial engineering needs a sustainable orientation

Predicting the future will always be difficult, but the world will probably soon face a number of major environment/resource challenges, including global climate change and oil depletion. Accommodating the consumption aspirations of industrialising countries, particularly fast-growing Asian economies such as China and India, in a world of finite resources and pollution absorbtion capacity, will increase our difficulties. If serious, these challenges promise a sharp break with trends of the past half-century for both production and consumption. The first main section of this paper uses a critical analysis of the recent literature in a range of areas to examine the global challenges of oil depletion and climate change. The second section analyses the available ‘tech fix’ solutions. The third and last main section discusses how both Industrial Engineering practice and education will need to change. Our main findings are as follows. First, both oil depletion and climate change are serious and global problems. Second, technical fixes alone will not solve these problems, given the environmental problems of even ‘clean’ industrial systems. Third, it follows that industrial engineering teaching/practice will need to change, the extent of change depending greatly on both how serious the problems are, and the degree to which further technology can overcome them.
