ENGINEERING INFORMATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IMPACTATIONS

H.I. Ifeanyichukwu, F.U. Nwafulugo

Abstract


Advancement in Engineering Information and Sustainable Development resuscitatively elucidated the prowess that should be experienced in engineering impactations. This is a recent revolution that involves the use of computers, internet and software packages. Information and engineering knowledge are critical components in achieving scholarly strategies. Information offers the best avenue for easy access to huge amounts of success in engineering for sustainable development. The primary needs of man include shelter, food, clothing, water, sense of security, health and equity. The interferences created by man limits the supplies and provisions of these basic needs considering the natural challenges we encounter daily in our quest for survival. The conquest can be achieved through engineering, since the profession is here to solve all kinds of human problems in all spheres. Sustainable development being holistic due to different disciples of engineering like agriculture and bio-environmental, civil, mechanical, electrical, aeronautics, oceanieering, mechatronics etc. Engineering is a product of technology and information which leads to sustainability and developmental prosperity birthing explorations of the universe and exploiting what it has to offer for human good. This paper propagates the views on engineering information, sustainable development together with the conclusions cum recommendations. Engineers have played a key role in transforming the world through invention, innovations and the development of new technologies having significant impact on sustainability and quality of life. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) seek an integrated approach to development and sustainability. Engineering is crucial for this especially in high technology, software, artificial intelligence, communications, infrastructures etc. Having focused on these, leeway can be guaranteed for better futuristic sustainable development through information in engineering and her impactations.
