NEW YORK, February 28, 2011 To facilitate collaboration across borders--both national and disciplinary onesthe Engineers Forum on Sustainability, has launched a new web site: http://efs.aiche.org. The site uses the latest communication technologies, including social media, to improve the dissemination of information on sustainable development. Its development has been underwritten by a grant from the United Engineering Foundation. The initial content focuses on issues such as the sustainability of water supplies and carbon managementissues that cut across engineering and scientific disciplines and which have economic, social and political dimensions, in addition to major technological challenges. The Engineers Forum on Sustainability, a program of the American Association of Engineering Societies, has been holding meetings and publishing a newsletter since 1997. Its most recent meeting was held in January in Tucson, Arizona, in conjunction with the International Congress on Sustainability Science and Engineering (ICOSSE 11). In addition to serving practicing engineers, the group focused on integrating sustainability concepts into engineering education programs through a variety of efforts, including undergraduate competitions. The current chair of the group is Subhas Sikdar of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, who is a representative from AIChEs Institute for Sustainability. Sikdar said that the new web site is an important tool for me and my colleagues around the world to keep up to date on the latest developments in sustainability practice. Todays most important work is advancing technology in a way that sustains the earths resources for future generations, and the Forum has a significant role to play in helping the process, he added. More EFS- 2 Forum cosponsors are the American Society for Civil Engineers (ASCE), the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Institute for Sustainability of the 91˶Ƶ (AIChE), the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME), the American Society for Engineering Education, the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences (AAASs) Center for Science, Innovation and Technology, and the Renewable Natural Resources Foundation, all under the auspices of the American Association of Engineering Societies. # # #  9PQRX^g  * , K X ÷|t|ngbZbZh?>hp5 hJ5 hp5aJ hpCJh:CJaJhCJaJh ]CJaJ hp5CJ hokS5CJ h ]5CJ h?Z5CJ h hJhJhJhpOJQJ^JaJhJOJQJ^JaJhpOJQJ^JhJ6>*]hp56>*\]hp5>*\hp6>*]hp!Rg+ , h i z { gdQ\$a$gd&_$a$gdp$a$gd ]gdpgdC:RgdJ ^`gdpgdp $ (a$gdp  5 F b c g h j w   f g h i   Y w y {   5Yq1>`䬥ءءءءءسس؝سءءh(+hIh&rd hhokS h=h=h7Mhcy>*B*ph6_h>*B*ph6_hV|hokS>*B*ph6_hV|h?ZhokSh"  h=5h?>hp5 h ]5 hO*5< BIw~ ")+[HIMNOVWh, {hp5h?>hp5h?>hpCJ h&rdh;Ch?Zh hokShV|h&rdh(+ KLNOW$a$gd, {$a$gd&_gd&rd$a$gd(+gdQ\^gd(+ $ & Fa$gd(+,1h/ =!"#$% ^ 02 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~_HmH nH sH tH @`@ pNormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH B@B p Heading 1$@& 6>*PJ]D@D p Heading 2$@&OJPJQJ^JL@L p Heading 3$$@&a$56CJ]aJ DA D Default Paragraph FontRiR  Table Normal4 l4a (k (No List 4U4 p Hyperlink >*phZZ pHeading 1 Char%6>*CJPJ]_HaJmH sH tH \\ pHeading 2 Char(CJOJPJQJ^J_HaJmH sH tH V!V pHeading 3 Char!56CJ]_HaJ mH sH tH V1V p Header Char(CJOJPJQJ^J_HaJmH sH tH F@BF pHeaderdd[$\$OJPJQJ^JRQR pBody Text Char6CJ]_HaJmH sH tH 8B@b8 p Body Text 6CJ]TrT pbodydd[$\$!B*CJOJPJQJ^JaJphHH } Balloon TextCJOJQJ^JaJHZH "<0 Plain TextCJOJPJQJ^JaJNN "<0Plain Text CharCJOJPJQJ^JaJb/b =Body text Char-B*CJOJQJ^J_HaJmH phsH tH `/` = Body textP-B*CJOJQJ^J_HaJmH phsH tH PK![Content_Types].xmlj0Eжr(΢Iw},-j4 wP-t#bΙ{UTU^hd}㨫)*1P' ^W0)T9<l#$yi};~@(Hu* Dנz/0ǰ $ X3aZ,D0j~3߶b~i>3\`?/[G\!-Rk.sԻ..a濭?PK!֧6 _rels/.relsj0 }Q%v/C/}(h"O = C?hv=Ʌ%[xp{۵_Pѣ<1H0ORBdJE4b$q_6LR7`0̞O,En7Lib/SeеPK!kytheme/theme/themeManager.xml M @}w7c(EbˮCAǠҟ7՛K Y, e.|,H,lxɴIsQ}#Ր ֵ+!,^$j=GW)E+& 8PK!Ptheme/theme/theme1.xmlYOo6w toc'vuر-MniP@I}úama[إ4:lЯGRX^6؊>$ !)O^rC$y@/yH*񄴽)޵߻UDb`}"qۋJחX^)I`nEp)liV[]1M<OP6r=zgbIguSebORD۫qu gZo~ٺlAplxpT0+[}`jzAV2Fi@qv֬5\|ʜ̭NleXdsjcs7f W+Ն7`g ȘJj|h(KD- dXiJ؇(x$( :;˹!
