This book gives every product designer, engineer, maker and manufacturer the skills to document, create and understand technical drawings: readers will benefit from this book regardless of their experience level.

The 100 examples apply to any industry: from robotics and medical devices to machinery and aerospace. We address outdated practices from old standards that have no place in modern times, but we still find them in most design offices.

Throughout the book, we use proven design workflows to help you develop mechanical systems cost-effectively, integrating ISO standards for technical annotation and document management. The workflows include document revision control, ISO and BS 8888: 2020 compliance, Bill of Materials (BOM), part dimensioning and tolerancing.

PROTONIUM dedicates its efforts to spreading manufacturing knowledge that conditions parts’ design and how they are made. We believe that by designing with DfM considerations and thorough technical documentation, engineering companies and manufacturers can reduce the iteration cycles, minimise the use of raw materials, reduce their carbon footprint and break into the market faster.

Introducing this book into a company’s training workflow will have several operational positive impacts:
• Engineering managers can bring consistent training by providing the engineers with the means to develop their design for manufacturing skills.
• Project managers will de-risk design deliverables and keep the project’s cost lower as designs are cost-effective to manufacture.
• Supply Chain professionals will get faster supplier quotes because designs are manufacturable.
• Designers will iterate less and deliver faster because their designs are developed in fewer iterations as the features can be manufactured.
• Companies will reduce development costs and increase quality in tandem with elevating the agility to react to market changes.

Look around, and it is clear that we now live in an increasingly digital world. Everywhere we turn, we hear talk of Future Cities, Smart Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and Generative AI. Technology and digital solutions are here and growing, with the social, educational, health, and business value of technology unquestionable. But behind the scenes, this growth has a carbon cost that has remained invisible to most of us.

The time has come to start focusing on on reducing the energy consumption of digital and the technological infrastructures, which underpin nearly all of our daily activities. Having spent the last two years engaging with some of the world’s leading cloud service providers, software companies, digital leaders, technology consultancies, and system integrators, I am now of the firm belief that we have an opportunity that could propel the technology sector to the forefront of decarbonisation .

The book is organised into five major parts covering:

1. A Foundation section providing an overview of climate change and the impact of digital
2. A more detailed Sustainable Software Engineering principles and practices section aimed at providing an in-depth view of the techniques that can be used to deliver greener software products
3. An introduction to Green Design to help guide the sustainability of digital products and services even before coding commences
4. A Sustainable IT for Technology Leaders section to help readers shape a sustainable IT strategy and consider the process and technology elements needed to be successful
5. A People and Culture section to help you consider the importance of building capability, the challenges of eco-anxiety and organisation structure to deliver a Sustainable IT Strategy

Whether you are a software engineer, a designer, an IT leader or manager, we will provide you with practical examples and online self-assessments to help you evaluate your own level of understanding and readiness to take action.

We are now able to hold up a mirror, and what we all need is for you to gaze in it and seize the opportunity to create an even better, faster, more efficient, and planet-friendly version of your incredible digital solutions.

The technology industry is filled with some of the brightest individuals in the world. We are a group of doers, and uniquely capable due to our inventiveness, innovation mindset, and pure determination to solve problems. We must abandon the notion that taking action will necessitate slowing things down or regressing to a less polluting version of the past. In our digital world, we must be progressive in our actions and utilise technological advancements to create the efficiencies required to support the development of digital. But we must recognise that we can only satisfy the technological demands of societies and businesses if we base this expansion on a more sustainable IT industry.

In our digital world we must move forward, our actions be progressive, and able to utilise the advancements in technology to create the efficiencies needed to support the growth of digital.

This book has been developed with an intellectual framework to focus on the challenges and specific qualities applicable to graduates on the threshold of their careers. Young professionals have to establish their competence in complying with multifaceted sets of ethical, environmental, social, and technological parameters. This competence has a vital impact on the curricula of higher education programs, because professional bodies today rely on accredited degrees as the main route for membership.

Consequently, this four-part book makes a suitable resource for a two-semester undergraduate course in professional practice and career development in universities and colleges. With its comprehensive coverage of a large variety of topics, each part of the book can be used as a reference for other related courses where sustainability, leadership, systems thinking and professional practice are evident and increasingly visible.

Features

• Identifies the values that are unique to the engineering and computing professions, and promotes a general understanding of what it means to be a member of a profession

• Explains how ethical and legal considerations play a role in engineering practice

• Discusses the importance of professional communication and reflective practice to a range of audiences

• Presents the practices of leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship, safety and sustainability in engineering design

• Analyzes and discusses the contemporary practices of project management, artificial intelligence, and professional career development.
