David Morgan’s Post

"I am excited to share that I recently participated in the 1st International Conference on Advance Engineering Research, Innovation, and Trends (AERIT-2024), held at MJR College of Engineering and Technology. I had the opportunity to present my research on '6R, Circular Economy, Mechanical Properties, Construction, and Building Waste as Alternative Materials: A Review.' This experience was invaluable, allowing me to exchange ideas with fellow researchers and explore innovative approaches to sustainable construction practices." I look forward to continuing my contributions to sustainable development. #madanapalleinstituteoftechnologyandscience# #civilengineering#

We were excited to see that fostering sustainability mindsets in engineering was a key recommendation in the recently released 2024 Industry Forum Report exploring the future of engineering education. The report summarized the findings of the 2024 Global Engineering Deans Council (GEDC) Industry Forum, organized in partnership with the IFEES - International Federation of Engineering Education Societies. Attendees had gathered earlier in the year at Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen, China, to help shape the development of socially-conscious engineering education. The Industry Forum’s keynote presentation by Professor Shih Choon Fong focused on the need to prioritize sustainability in engineering, with calls to action for deans, industry leaders, NGOs, and academia to help make it a reality. The report recommends that sustainability be embedded throughout engineering programs and courses as a core element rather than as standalone modules, something that the Engineering for One Planet (EOP) Framework is designed to facilitate. You can read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/ebEWqgNa We invite you to visit the Engineering for One Planet website to access the EOP Framework and other tools and resources to incorporate sustainability throughout engineering education: https://lnkd.in/dy_A9gb Kirsten Williamson Petrus  #GlobalIndustryForum #IndustryForum #EngineeringEducation #EOP #EngineeringforOnePlanet #UniversityIndustryCollaboration

Join us online from 4-7 February 2025for our course on Sustainable Optimal Engineering, presented by Dr Nand K Jha of the Manhattan College, Riverdale, New York. There are many reasons why environmental issues should be considered in the design and product development process, for example, to help meet customer and legislative requirements; to strengthen competitive and commercial position; to maintain innovative credibility. Most important of all is to reduce the overall environmental impact of products across their lifecycle. Over the course of four days, the following topics will be considered: Sustainability and Ecological Considerations in Engineering Product Development. Mathematical techniques used in sustainable optimal design; including Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) for engineering design. Sustainable Consideration and Mathematics of Recyclability, Reuse, and Circular Economy. Practical and useful applications of sustainability in green power generation, disassembly and recycling, and time elements in assembly and disassembly. Ecological considerations and sustainability in manufacturing. Green design and manufacture of sustainable products in the age of Industry 4.0.

As the search for eco-friendly refrigerants continues, a CEEE research team presents the case for elastocaloric cooling in the June 2024 issue of the “International Journal of Refrigeration.” Elastocaloric cooling takes advantage of the superelasticity of shape memory alloys that release heat when stretched and absorb heat when compressed. The result is efficient cooling with zero direct global emissions. Find out more about this “cool” technology: https://lnkd.in/eMMSFnPJ. The paper was written by mechanical engineering doctoral students Het Mevada and Boyang Liu; postdoctoral research associate Lei Gao; CEEE Director Reinhard Radermacher and Co-Director Yunho Hwang; and Materials Science and Engineering Professor Ichiro Takeuchi, all at the University of Maryland - A. James Clark School of Engineering. The journal is published for the IIFIIR - International Institute of Refrigeration by Elsevier. #AlternativeRefrigerants #decarbonization #ShapeMemoryAlloy #ClimateChangeSolutions

CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY DIARIES (Episode 9): Cranfield University New MSc Course (Webinar): Introduction - Water and Wastewater Processes People engagement and collaborative support is something I have come to truly enjoy as I do find this fulfilling and noble, considering the impact given and inspiration created especially for the recipient. Delighted to be featured in our recent webinar with Dr Irene Carra focused on highlighting Cranfield Water’s new (reformed) course: Water & Wastewater Processes MSc (formerly Water & Wastewater Engineering MSc). This postgraduate degree unlike the first has a specially structured alternative that offers 2 routes. What’s good! The new MSc follows an interdisciplinary approach to equip students with the necessary skills to become the innovators, specialists, and knowledge integrators of tomorrow who will design, lead, and deliver transformative solutions and change whether in the industry or academia. - Engineering route: Aligned with applying engineering principles for the effective selection, design and operation of water and wastewater treatment processes and assess performance, environmental impact, energy, risk and cost. Link: https://lnkd.in/eBsACwC8 - Environmental Science route: Aligned with applying scientific principles to assess the environmental impacts of climate change, pollution discharges and emerging contaminants on the quality and treatability of water resources, proposing solutions in a water and wastewater treatment context. Link: https://lnkd.in/exDWJ88q This reformation to a greater good will offer prospective students the flexibility of choosing between any of these routes depending on their background, interests and career projection by the elective components of the modules as shown in the above links. You can read more about the course via this link: https://lnkd.in/e4pdH2Ye. I hope you also enjoy this short clip from the webinar as I shared briefly on my experience! #cranfielduni #cranfieldwater #postgraduatestudies

A few more thoughts from decent STEP colleagues on various Sustainable Infrastructure course approaches and objectives to support advancing low impact development stormwater management practice. As time and interest permits, we hope to see you at one or the series or course offerings.

Get your hands on this book and share it with colleagues across the engineering ecosystem at all levels and layers of your campuses. Thanks for sending me a copy, Jenna Carpenter ! Jennifer Winikus, PhD can’t wait to get my hands on one of the physical copies you’re bringing back and plan how else we can support implementation the recommendations
