Importance of Sustainability in Engineering Services

Providing the best in engineering services requires an in-depth understanding of the engineering industry. Whether it is oil and gas refining or power generation, the team at RTS Corporation is committed to staying at the forefront of engineering services.

Along with this, RTS Corporation is also dedicated to sustainability. Sustainable engineering services are vital across a wide variety of industries, and in this blog the professionals at RTS Corporation will explain why sustainability matters.

What Is Sustainable Engineering?

Sustainable engineering involves designing and managing systems to use resources in a way that is sustainable. Simply put, this means creating energy in a way that does not negatively impact our environment, or that minimizes or compensates for environmental impact.

The philosophy behind sustainable engineering, and the sustainability movement in general, is to preserve our environment for future generations. The aim of sustainable engineering services is to do this in a way that also does not impact the efficiency or productivity of industrial processes.

Pollution Prevention and Material Management

Pollution from industrial processes and manufacturing has been an issue for a long time, but the push to tackle it is relatively new in comparison to how long it has been going on. Part of the reason for this is that people’s awareness of our environmental impact has vastly increased over time. Another factor is that the technology to carry out industrial projects while minimizing harm to our environment simply was not there before.

Thanks to companies like RTS Corporation and related organizations, as well as a number of governmental and global initiatives, the push towards environmental protection has resulted in significant innovations. Improved technology and understanding has resulted in greener technology. Professional engineers with increased awareness have allowed for using these technologies in the most productive ways.

Accomplishments of the Sustainability Movement

To better illustrate this, we can give you a few examples of what the sustainability movement has achieved:

Green Materials

Green materials include things that can be recycled, reused, or have their supply easily replenished. The term “green materials” may also be used to refer to locally-sourced materials.

Water Conservation

Innovations in water conservation include low-flow plumbing and interior fixtures. Newer homes designed for water and energy conservation also offer savings when it comes to the cost of utilities.

Energy Efficiency

Sustainable engineering has led to extensive improvements in energy efficiency in everything from industrial applications to household electronics. Coupled with increased public awareness, the push towards better energy efficiency has helped save both money and resources.

Entering the Engineering Industry

At RTS Corporation, we aim to provide the best in engineering services across the oil and gas and power generation industries. In order to do this, we need an in-depth understanding of theengineering industry itself. This does not just mean understanding the deeply technical details of the work that we do, but also means having a foundation of essential knowledge to build upon.

Much of this comes from the intensive education and training those in the engineering industry undertake in order to become engineers, whatever their specialty may be. In this blog, we will look at what kind of education and knowledge is required to work in the engineering industry.

Educational Requirements

Typically, anyone looking to enter the engineering industry will need to have at least a bachelor’s degree in a specific engineering discipline. In many cases, having an advanced degree like a master’s is extremely beneficial, and even a requirement in certain fields.

Beyond college or university education, there are also specific courses of accreditation available for any candidates who wish to work with the public. This can vary by state, so anyone wishing to be an engineer in a public-related field will need to research differently depending on where they are based.

Types of Engineering

The job title of “engineer” is an extremely broad term, usually used for the sake of simplicity. There are many different types of engineering roles throughout the industry, each with their own unique set of skills and requirements. The different engineering careers include:

Aerospace engineer

Designs and develops air and space craft, along with related technology.

Chemical engineer

Works with chemicals in applications ranging from practical use to transportation.

Computer engineer

Works with computers and related technology to develop new systems and innovations.

Electrical engineer

Studies, develops and applies systems to electronics in a wide range of applications.

Industrial engineer

Develops and optimizes industrial processes to improve productivity and efficiency.

Mechanical engineer

Applies a range of engineering skills and knowledge to the improvement of mechanical functions.

Engineering Categories and Careers

These are just a few very broad examples of engineering roles. Engineering is typically divided into six major categories: mechanical, chemical, civil, electrical, geotechnical and management. Each of these categories have grown to include a wide variety of roles, as well as opening up opportunities to specialize in roles such as project management.

Becoming an engineer and working in the engineering industry is a lucrative career, but it requires dedication, strong mathematical skills, a knack for critical thinking and the ability to communicate clearly and concisely.
