Details The story of Transition Engineering is a convergence of professional engineers seeking more impactful approaches to sustainability, and academics building methodology and tools that deal with the complexity of change to address un-sustainability risks and issues.
Details Transition Engineering has emerged out of research into energy engineering, but in challenging and complex relationships with society, policy, transport, buildings, economics and un-sustainability. Some very special people have taken years out of their lives to boldly go where no-one has gone before, and to push their creativity to the absolute limits by taking on the truly heretical question of how do we engineer the future that society wants rather than the one we are heading for.Link www.aemslab.org.nz/Tags Research
Details Pervasive risks of un-sustainability pose challenges in all disciplines.We don't need another interest group, but we do need urgent action. All engineering disciplines are responsible for the projects that will change engineered systems to prevent what is preventable.
GATE is engineers and scientists joining together, giving themselves permission to look for the path-break from business as usual. Transition Engineering is not a big program with complex formulas - it is an extremely courageous act looking for the downshift in your own organisation.
