Many thanks to the current ESD students who came to start clearing Bin Brook Meadow on the Coton Reserve on Saturday 8th November. We had good fun battling brambles, hawthorn etc and making bonfires. Thanks also to Geoff Morgan (ESD MPhil 2011-12) as our alumni representative.

The need to engage in better problem definition through careful dialogue with all stakeholder groups and a proper recognition of context.
An ability to work with specialists from other disciplines and professional groups acknowledging that technical innovation and business skills also must be understood, nurtured and combined as precursors to the successful implementation of sustainable solutions.
An understanding of mechanisms for managing change in organisations so future engineers are equipped to play a leadership role.
An awareness of a range of assessment frameworks, sustainability metrics and methodologies such as Life Cycle Analysis, Systems Dynamics, Multi-Criteria Decision making and Impact Assessment.
