Engineering Applied to Sustainable Development Goals

Dear Colleagues,

The applied engineering should be the main driving force for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN). SDGs aim to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for everyone by 2030. These goals call for a better way to do engineering, by considering the SDGs, in order to ensure a safe future for everyone.

Applied engineering sciences—aerospace, marine, bioengineering, energy, civil, mechanical, computer, artificial intelligence, electrical, electronics, communications, industrial, robotics, and automation—would promote these encouraging goals. Advanced engineering developments that enhance anyone's future have a place in this Special Issue.

Therefore, this Special Issue is more aimed at the relevant SDGs and for new engineering applications, than at basic research or Earth sciences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited, to the following: renewable energy, new efficient-ecofriendly devices as LEDs, online low-cost quality education, instrumentation for controlling pollutants or deforestation, increase in water and sanity quality by engineering, resilience of civil engineering and sustainable cities to the climate change, and the reliability of equipment for the new climate conditions. Reviews are also welcome in this Special Issue.

The Special Issue of the journal Applied Sciences, “Engineering Applied to Sustainable Development Goals”, aims to cover recent engineering advances and applications in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
