Sustainable Engineering and Science
A section of Sustainability (ISSN 2071-1050).
Section Information
This Section discusses research topics related to sustainable engineering and sustainable science. Over the past few decades, sustainable ideas have been introduced into engineering-related fields at an astonishing speed. This has caused related industries to adopt eco-friendly materials applications or sustainable technologies/designs for the benefit of future generations. We hope this Section will be a platform in academia to share thoughts and innovations regarding sustainable engineering and science.
