To create tomorrow's sustainable products, engineers must carefully consider environmental, economic, and social factors in evaluating their designs. Fortunately, quantitative tools for incorporating sustainability concepts into engineering designs and performance metrics are now emerging. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSustainable Engineering \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eintroduces these tools and shows how to apply them.  Building on widely accepted principles they first introduced in \u003ci\u003eGreen Engineering, \u003c\/i\u003eDavid T. Allen and David R. Shonnard discuss key aspects of designing sustainable systems in any engineering discipline. Their powerful, unified approach integrates essential engineering and quantitative design skills, industry perspectives, and case studies, enabling engineering professionals, educators, and students to incorporate sustainability throughout their work.
