Engineering without Frontiers (EwF): Engineering, Society and the Millennium Development Goals

Project Summary

SISTech worked with the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) on its 'Engineering without Frontiers' (EwF) Commission. EwF examined how engineering should understand and respond to society's expectations, sustainability and to the challenge of achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

EwF produced a set of 'Principles for Development Engineering' outlining the attributes required of successful development engineering as they relate to Social Justice, Sustainability, Appropriate Standards, Capacity Building and Knowledge, Delivery and Procurement, Outcomes and Context. These completed principles were communicated to the G8 summit to highlight the importance of the engineering contribution to development.
