Abstract

Sustainability and green engineering are increasingly vital in mechanical engineering education as industries prioritize environmental responsibility, energy efficiency, and waste reduction. This study aims to review and synthesize current research trends, challenges, and implementation strategies concerning the integration of sustainability into mechanical engineering curricula. We used a systematic review approach using literature published between 2019 and 2024. Results indicate that although sustainability is recognized as important, its integration remains inconsistent due to curriculum gaps, limited hands-on experiences, weak industry collaboration, and insufficient faculty training. Proposed solutions include project-based learning, interdisciplinary courses, strengthened partnerships with industry, and the incorporation of green technologies such as carbon capture and circular economy practices. These strategies are essential because they bridge the gap between theory and real-world application. The findings highlight the need for standardized educational frameworks and enhanced collaboration. This review contributes to the development of curricula that prepare future engineers to address complex environmental challenges.

Abstract

The biggest candidate for climate change is the emission of CO2 during the burning of fossil fuels and researchers are trying to capture this CO2 efficiently and utilization effectively. This review highlights the parametric effects on conversion, utilization, and selectivity in CO2 hydrogenation via the Fischer-Tropsch method using various catalysts. Collecting the data from reported studies as datasets for quantum mechanical-based simulation software such as DFT and Monte Carlo were employed to probe the characteristics of catalysts, the discovery of novel catalysts, theoretical models for utilization of catalysts and parameters for CO2 hydrogenation such as operational, catalyst information, and mass transfer. Two syntheses such as methanol and methane were studied extensively via machine learning techniques. How artificial intelligence can help experimentalists for finding new catalysts has been discussed and how one can understand the catalytic features in a better way. Furthermore, the key challenges in CO2 hydrogenation technology and future directions based on artificial intelligence have been discussed thoroughly.

Abstract

As the trade-off limitation of polymeric membrane between permeability and selectivity is still the biggest concern, the focus has now diverted into the potential of Mixed Matrix Membrane (MMM). Among the fillers used in MMM, the Zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF) is one of the metal-organic frameworks (MOF) currently being investigated where findings have shown outstanding performances. Thus, this study aims to investigate the effect of fillers geometry on MMM’s gas separation performance. The successful synthesis of ZIF-8 and ZIF-L were confirmed using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) to measure the crystallinity, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to observe structure and morphology, and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) to assess the functional groups of the ZIF-L and ZIF-8 particles. The gas permeation test shows that at the highest filler loading of 10wt%, ZIF-L MMM gives higher CO¬2 permeability (271 GPU) as compared to ZIF-8 MMM (121 GPU).

Abstract

In recent years, the issue of desirability or sustainability has dominated the global conversation. This research focuses on designing solutions to environmentally detrimental carbon footprints, contributing to achieving SDGs climate action with a focus on sustainable packaging. Through a qualitative approach and methodological literature study, we analyzed that the use of sustainable packaging uses fewer raw materials and is more energy efficient, such as recycled plastic (bioplastic) and alternative materials that require less energy in their production. The results of this research show that the use of bioplastics has a real impact on the carbon footprint. Natural bioplastic materials can be degraded because the molecular structure of the raw material is crystalline so it is more fragile and more easily degraded than conventional plastic. Sustainable Packaging is an important future step towards low carbon.

Abstract

Water is an important natural resource and is vital to all living organisms. However, increased industrialization and urbanization have led to water pollution. This research aimed at removing some toxic metals from tannery wastewater using already green synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs). The treatment method used was photocatalytic degradation. The concentrations of Cr, Cu, and Pb in the wastewater were found to be above the standard recommended by WHO and the National Environmental Standards Regulatory and Enforcement Agency (NESREA) while those of Ni, Mn, and Co were within the acceptable limit. The photocatalytic degradation using the ZnO-NPs was effective in the treatment of the metals: Cr, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, and Pb as their concentration in the treated tannery wastewater were significantly lower than that in the untreated wastewater except for Mn. Based on the results, photocatalytic degradation using green synthesized ZnO-NPs has proven to be a viable method for the degradation of tannery wastewater.

Abstract

This research aims to assess the viability and suitability of Ferrock as an alternative to concrete for constructing foundations. The study evaluates the performance of Ferrock in foundation applications, compares its costs with traditional concrete, and examines the benefits of using Ferrock for foundations. To achieve these objectives, the utilization of Staad Pro and Foundation software is done to analyze the performance of Ferrock foundations. A cost-benefit analysis, considering factors like material costs, construction techniques, and maintenance requirements to determine the economic feasibility of Ferrock as a substitute for concrete and the potential to reduce carbon emissions, and promote environmentally friendly construction practices is also done. The research findings indicate that Ferrock exhibits promising performance characteristics for building foundations. It demonstrates comparable strength to traditional concrete while offering potential environmental benefits. Although implementing Ferrock may require an initial investment, the long-term advantages of reduced maintenance costs and improved sustainability contribute to its overall value proposition.
