Irrespective of your particular like or dislike the “s” word is here to stay, in any case, it is all around us. As engineers, we strive to deliver planned benefits at the end of a given project. We deftly manage day to day project issues as also those that shape future outcomes.
The Impact
So far so good, one thing that many engineers tend to overlook is the very basic fact, how the project they have been working on all along impacts the local, regional or the global environment.
Sustainability
Just ask yourself, whether you have overtly considered sustainability while initiating, planning and executing a given project, ensuring maintainability by giving due consideration to certain things no matter how small or inconsequential they may seem to be at the moment.
Prolonged Lifespan
For instance, you are in the process of building a house, just ensure you are using such materials that would require less maintenance and provide uninterrupted services over a much longer span of time, in essence, have a prolonged lifespan.
Final Thoughts
It is a good idea to incorporate these actions based on your previous experience, however the conscious decision to assess a given project right from the initiation all through its lifecycle as far as sustainability factors are concerned would bring in rich dividends for Engineering Jobs, all one needs to do is develop a greater understanding of the challenges that WE face globally and meeting them head on for greater good.
