Sustainable Engineering is an environmentally friendly sub-discipline that works to balance the environment in order to increase materials for future generations. It is a discipline of engineering that use resources to provide benefits and raise living standards. Sustainable Engineering is dependable not only in Environmental Engineering but also in other areas of engineering.  This is because existing Engineering and Technology sub-disciplines should incorporate and organise sustainability to avert environmental depletion. Sustainable engineering is critical for meeting current societal demands without jeopardising future needs. It is a vast discipline that is closely related to others such as chemistry, biology, technology, and economics.

Sustainable Engineers endeavour to ensure that future technical improvements do not contradict Sustainable Engineering principles. This is done prior to the start of a project to avoid redesigning. It is critical to stress that industrial research and funding must align with Sustainable Engineering concepts. In keeping with the creation of Sustainable Engineering principles, it is appropriate to strengthen them with environmental, social, and economic considerations. This will aid in the creation of a safer environment for all aspects of life by providing security towards an imperishable environment.
