Other side events organized by UNESCO cover the areas of water resources, young women in science for sustainable development, and engineering for sustainable development.
The objective is to increase public awareness regarding the need for engineering to achieve sustainable development goals, highlight the role of organizations, such as UNESCO and IEEE, to advance engineering as solution, and to encourage student excitement about engineering and how they can have a significant impact on their future.
In this new relationship, UNESCO and Airbus are committed to working together to make connections between industry and academia that promote the importance of engineering for sustainable development, encourage young people to pursue careers in STEM disciplines, and cultivate innovative solutions as a result of international, multidisciplinary teamwork.
These presentations will be supplemented by a successful West African case study that demonstrates engineering being used to achieve sustainable development goals and encourages students to make a significant impact on their world through the pursuit of engineering studies.
It underlines the central role of engineering in creating our sustainable future and gives students a chance to experience that adventure.
The presentation of the Report was well received, with discussion including reference to the vital role of engineering in social and economic development, global issues of poverty reduction, sustainable development and other UN Millennium Development Goals and issues facing engineering.
Gretchen Kalonji, Assistant Director General for Natural Sciences in UNESCO, and Mr. Gordon Day, IEEE President, will highlight the role of their respective organizations to advocate for engineering as a key factor in sustainable development.
Engineering is a key factor for a sustainable future and the need for engineers will only be met through educational programmes and professional training with significant sustainability components, such as the projects envisaged by this partnership.
Science, engineering and technology (SET) drives sustainable social and economic Development and is vital in addressing basic human needs including poverty reduction, emergency and disaster prevention, response and reconstruction, bridging the knowledge divide and promoting intercultural cooperation.
As Ford's investment in electrified vehicles such as Fusion Hybrid increased, so did the size of the Sustainable Mobility Technologies team behind it, said Chuck Gray, Ford chief engineer, Global Core Engineering Hybrid and Electric Vehicles.
