Greetings colleagues,
I am pleased to announce that CRC Press is seeking book proposals for a new series entitled "Sustainable Industrial Engineering and Management Systems." As series editors, Dr Pushan Kumar Dutta from #amityuniversity and Prof. Chithirai Pon Selvan PhD, PDF, SFHEA(UK) from #curtinuniversity invite experienced editors to develop books, handbooks, and reference works that examine the integration of sustainability principles across all areas of industrial engineering.
We welcome book proposals that address innovative topics such as circular economy implementation, resilient infrastructure planning, green supply chain management, life cycle assessment, renewable energy integration, sustainable project financing, smart cities, engineering ethics and social responsibility, biomimicry, blockchain for supply chains, digital twins for asset management, and social innovation.
Some of the topics you can include
Circular Economy Implementation in Engineering Projects: Explore how circular economy principles can be integrated into engineering management practices to minimize waste, promote recycling, and create a more sustainable lifecycle for products and projects.
Resilient Infrastructure Planning and Management: Discuss strategies for designing and managing infrastructure that can withstand and adapt to environmental challenges such as climate change, natural disasters, and resource scarcity.
Green Supply Chain Management in Engineering: Examine the implementation of sustainable and environmentally friendly practices in the entire supply chain of engineering projects, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal.
Life Cycle Assessment for Engineering Systems: Delve into the methods and tools used for conducting life cycle assessments (LCA) to evaluate the environmental impact of engineering systems throughout their entire life cycle.
Renewable Energy Integration in Engineering Projects: Explore the challenges and opportunities in integrating renewable energy sources into various engineering projects, including the design, construction, and operation phases.
Sustainable Project Financing and Investment: Investigate innovative financing and investment models for sustainable engineering projects, considering economic, social, and environmental returns on investment.
Smart Cities and Sustainable Urban Planning: Discuss the role of smart technologies and data-driven decision-making in creating sustainable and resilient cities, focusing on infrastructure, transportation, and resource management.
Ethics and Social Responsibility in Engineering Management: Address the ethical considerations and social responsibilities that come with managing engineering projects, emphasizing the importance of considering the impact on communities and future generations.
Biomimicry in Engineering Design: Explore how biomimicry principles can be applied in engineering design and management to create more sustainable and efficient solutions inspired by nature.
Blockchain Technology for Sustainable Supply Chains: Investigate the use of blockchain technology to enhance transparency, traceability, and accountability in supply chains, ensuring sustainability practices are adhered to.
Digital Twins and Sustainable Asset Management: Examine how digital twin technologies can be leveraged for better asset management, predictive maintenance, and resource optimization in engineering projects.
Social Innovation in Engineering: Highlight case studies and examples where engineering projects have addressed social challenges, fostering inclusivity, and contributing to community development.
This timely series aims to capture the latest research, case studies, and best practices for creating more sustainable, efficient, and socially responsible industrial engineering and management systems. Contributed volumes should be oriented towards a diverse readership of students, academics, and industry practitioners worldwide.
We encourage prospective editors to reach out with book ideas or questions for developing proposals. Note that all proposals will be vetted for quality, originality, and diversity of authorship before approval. We look forward to your submissions and working together to advance scholarship in this emerging field.
Best regards,
Dr Pushan Kumar Dutta
