There is an urgent call to action for developed and developing countries to implement a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. To do this by altering processes & systems to achieve sustainability goals. Engineers, particularly Industrial Engineers, play a key role in leading changes to processes and systems. It is important for Engineering programmes to equip engineers with the required skills to facilitate this reform.
Sustainable Engineering emphasizes the design, development, and implementation of technologies, systems, and processes that meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
The Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Engineering with specialization in Sustainability will equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to facilitate sustained change, as framed by the challenges outlined in the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), wherever they are currently positioned. With this specialization in Sustainable Engineering, Engineers will be equipped to develop and implement such solutions in various industries.
Sustainable Mining can be seen as a subset of Sustainable Engineering, balancing resource extraction and environmental preservation. In addition to addressing the challenges outlined in the SDGs, the Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Engineering with specialisation in Sustainable Mining equips Engineers with relevant expertise to lead change in a context where the mining industry is a key influencer of the environmental, social, and governance opportunities for achieving sustainability.
