Sustainability in Mechanical Engineering (Draft)

Based on the Mechanical Engineering essay's sustainability, that first paragraph essentially defines sustainability in relation to Mechanical Engineering. The paragraph enables the mechanical engineers to know they have a greater responsibility to develop infrastructures that can utilize the available resources without compromising the availability of the same resources to the future generation (Koch, 2020). Mechanical Engineers' primary responsibility is to develop and select machines that are less prone to tear and wear during project implementation.

After the introduction, the essay elaborates on controversies Mechanical Engineers go through in selecting the most effective resources during project implementation. The second controversy occurs when Mechanical Engineers are selecting suitable materials or tools when implementing a project.

During project implementation, there are various required resources, including human resources and financial resources. For the Mechanical Engineers to ensure resources are effectively used, they must collaborate with project managers when developing the project charter and the project scope (Senior, Stevens & Smith, 2017). The controversies occur where the project managers are not professional engineers, and they might be reluctant to buy the ideals from the engineering department. Additionally, engineers may lack the expertise to develop the project charter; thus, they cannot give an opinion on resources.

The other controversies occur during the selection of correct materials and tools for the job. Engineers worldwide choose tools based on affordability, but on the other hand, they want quality tools that are resistant to tear and wear. Additionally, the engineers consider the quality of products in a project without ascertaining an organization's budget. Therefore, engineers should collaborate with the project managers during the planning and implementation process. Allocation of resources should be based on finances available in an organization. However, engineers should support projects that meet standards that ensure effective use of resources and sustainability of resources to future generations (Goldie & Betts, 2014).
