Welcome to Sustainable Engineering and Technological Innovation (SETI 2024)

 Engineers are increasingly required to play a leadership role in sustainable development to overcome global challenges, such as depletion of resources, environmental pollution, rapid population growth, and damage to ecosystems. In the 20th century, engineering achievements were developed without considering their impact on social, economic, and environmental natural systems. As we enter the twenty-first century, we must adopt a more holistic engineering approach. Considering the problems facing our planet today and the problems expected to arise in the first half of the twenty-first century, engineers must revisit their mindset and adopt a new mission statement - to contribute to building a more sustainable, stable, and equitable community.

 For that to occur, engineers must adopt a completely different attitude towards natural and cultural systems and reconsider interactions between engineering disciplines and non-technical fields, of the society. Towards this end, the Annual Conference for  Faculty of Engineering April 29, 2024 (SETI 2024) will be organized, whereas this is the mission of this conference.
