Modern engineering, science, and technology focus on the achievement of sustainable growth instead of economic growth. It considers environmental, social, and ethical aspects apart from the economic aspects of society. Different nations emphasise the development of sustainable engineering to achieve sustainable development goals and foster effective population growth. Modern engineers innovate different ecofriendly designs that promote economic growth by protecting environmental resources. New technologies, like nanotechnology, biotechnology, microbial engineering, the study of organic polymers, etc., are being extensively utilised to manufacture less hazardous and envirnment friendly products. Sustainable synthesis processes are also being developed to facilitate effective resource utilisation and minimise waste generation to optimise the demand for natural resources. They also focus on the development of effective recycling technologies that prevent environmental degradation and convert waste products into potential resources. Efficient use of resources, social responsibility, prevention of environmental degradation, a life cycle perspective, and collaboration are five important principles of effective engineering management. Effective bilateral and multilateral relationships are necessary to develop the infrastructure of sustainable engineering, especially in developing nations like India.
