Principle of Sustainable Engineering in Technical Education

Emmanuel Philip Ododo — 2022-12-14

The significant Key to the countries flourishing and security during an international ,knowledge-driven economy can be its authority in innovation and innovation. Only the best designing training and teachers can deliver cutting edge Einstein. The genuine significance in designing schooling can be estimated from the progressions we have seen globally. The world has faced numerous challenges over the years, including diseases, the energy crisis, development, climatic conditions, and others that called for various solutions and were in some ways resolved via asset contribution design. An explosive increase in the number of
specialized institutions has led to particularly serious problems and concerns for the design sector, where universities are struggling to hire staff who are sufficiently qualified, graduates are having trouble finding employment, and controllers are
under pressure to further develop norms. Between starting out in design and becoming an engineer, there is a huge gap. Both your hands and your intellect must be active as an inventor and problem-solver. You should be able to think, communicate, and make decisions all at once. Furthermore, the need for planning education has acquired a more notable significance due to the rapidly advancing innovation. Engineers are developing, and as a result, engineering institutes or Technical universities are growing.

Ukponmwan Ajiri-Oghene Angela — 2022-12-15

Cultural intelligence is a specific form of intelligence that focuses on the capability of individuals to function effectively in situations in which they are presented with cultural diversity. It is therefore important that cultural intelligence is used as a tool to solve the issues of insecurity and safety as it focuses on bridging the gap created by difference in culture and background among staff in order to minimize conflicts. The aim of this research is to identify the role of cultural intelligence in security and safety management. This paper also focuses on the strategic approach of cultural intelligence that can be employed in the security
and safety management development. Survey Method of data collection was adopted, where questionnaires were administered to 434 respondents and descriptive statistics was used for the data analysis and interpretation of results. Findings reveal that, there is insufficient cultural intelligence skill amongst people in Nigeria. It was also established that cultural intelligence is an important skill development set, especially in safety management. This study therefore recommends that cultural intelligence should be given prominence by individuals, private as well as corporate organizations in addition, staff should be regularly trained in cultural intelligence as this will serve as a means of enhancing their social skills thereby increasing their productivity.

Pulok Ranjan Mohanta,PhD (Contd.) — 2022-12-15

In the current scenario of intense competition, shorter product life cycle and rapid change in technologies, it is difficult for the manufactures to attain sustainability through offering only product and add-on services considering high investment in design and development of the products. To cope up with this situation, various alternatives were developed among which servitization has gained ample attention from researchers and practitioners in the last two decades.Servitization is the new dimension, which manufacturers believe, could provide them sustainable business in terms of customer retention, revenue generation and market penetration. However, the implementation of servitization was facing several challenges that are now eased through the onset of Industry 4.0 that encompasses the advancements in information and communication technologies such as internet of things, digital twin, big data analytics and cloud computing.Today, the integration of industry 4.0 and servitizationis considered to have
potential in overcoming the servitization failures and derive maximum benefits from the shift of product centric to the solution oriented business model. In this chapter, we discuss the different aspects of servitization and the augmenting role of industry 4.0 technologies in the transformation. The sustainability dimension of servitization of manufacturing industries is also discussed.

Structure property relationship studies of Halloysite Nanotubes (HNTs) filled ABS/PVC blends and its composites

Pravin Ramchandra Kubade — 2022-12-15

In present work, Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) and Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) polymers are blended with injection molding technique. In order to impart better properties to ABS/PVC blend, HNTs at different concentration like (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2wt. %) are added. To obtain best results the percentage concentration of PVC is maintained at 10 % in ABS. The
results of this work showed that due to addition of HNTs up to 1.5 wt. % improved tensile and impact properties by 71.73 % and 32.6 % respectively. Addition of HNTs also show improved thermal stability of composites which is explained by the support of DSC. ABS/PVC composites will find applications in the piping and electrical insulation systems. The surface properties of HNTs can be surely changed with the help of PEI. Modified halloysite have successfully incorporated in Acrylnitrile-Butadiene-Styrene copolymer (ABS) and Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) blends with the help of injection moulding machine, by melt mixing process. The 90/10 ABS/PVC blends exhibited good especially at 1.5 wt % addition of m-HNTs. There was measurable difference in mechanical properties like tensile and impact strength of prepared composites, 74.76 % and 36.88 % respectively. However, it was also observed that thermal stability of the prepared blends in addition of m- HNTs was improved hand in hand which is explained by
DSC. The m-HNTs filled 90/10 wt% ABS/PVC can be used in different areas like pipe fittings, electric applications, automobile etc.

Sustainable Waste Management for Solid Waste Dominance in Metals, Concrete Brick Mix of Plasticizer with Interlocking - A Case Study

Sivasankara Raju Rallabandi,Phd — 2022-12-15

The goal of this initiative is to reduce plastic trash and recycle it into valuable items like bricks and in construction. After manufacturing operations, service industries, and municipal solid wastes, several waste products are created. Concerns about disposing of created garbage have been greatly exacerbated by the growing environmental consciousness. One of the world's top conservation concerns is the management of solid waste. Employment of garbage has evolved to be a remarkable replacement for disposal because to the lack of land for landfilling and its ever-rising expense. Researchers, businesses, and industries are conducting studies on the use of waste materials in concrete. These waste materials include used tyres, glass, steel, plastic, burned foundry sand, and coal that has been burned by other products (CCBs). Plastic trash, which is growing by the day, is becoming an eyesore and polluting the environment, particularly in high mountain settlements where there is no rubbish collection infrastructure. A considerable amount of
plastic is taken into tourist hiking destinations, which is then thrown or burnt, polluting the ecosystem and air. These used plastics will therefore be put to good use. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyethylene (PE) bags are washed and blended with sand and gravel at variable percentages to create high-strength bricks with the ability to insulate sound and heat. This reduces pollution and lowers the costs associated with it overall. This will avoid the amount of sand/clay that would otherwise be extracted from valuable river beds/mines. Because the plastic garbage is readily available in large quantities, the cost component is reduced. To get the desired hues, colouring agents can also be added to the mixture. The current paper provides a comprehensive examination of residual wastes, recycled plastics, waste management prospects, and studies that have been done on the effects of highly recyclable plastics on the added and toughened qualities of 156 concrete. An attempt is made to investigate the qualities of a brick built from
plastic trash and also comparing plastic and geo polymer bricks to current bricks such as fly ash, clay, and CLC bricks in this study. Also, by adopting the interlocking idea, cement in the construction area may be replaced to minimise use.

Research Progress in Utilization of Agriculture Waste for Sustainable Green Production

Tawaf Ali Shah,Phd — 2022-12-15

The world is spending a huge amount of money on the imports of biochemicals,biobased products and fuels produced from fossil resources. The increasing of population further intensifying the demand for fuels and bioproducts consumption and badly affect the individual life. The researchers now looking to builda bioprocessing technology for utilization of the agriculture waste biomass. Especially, the aim is for production of sustainable energy & industrials biobased chemical products at a cheaper cost from agriculture waste biomass. The agriculture biomass containing extractives, lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose, an
abundant source of organic carbon. To better utilize these carbons biomass, it is necessary to remove the lignin from agriculture biomass. In bioenergy and biochemical production the only problem is the lignin that binds together the hemicellulose and cellulose and makes them difficult to degrade into monomers. Thus pretreatment methods and biorefinery process are under hunt to convert agriculture waste biomass into different chemicals products and fuels. So far process such as anaerobic digestion, fermentation, combustion, pyrolysis and gasification of agriculture waste biomass are reported for gaseous bioenergy (methane, hydrogen), liquid fuels(ethanol, butanol, glycerol) and hydrocarbons. This chapter briefly described the background of biomass, composition of agriculture biomass, significance and sustainable methods for biofuels from agriculture waste biomass.
