SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT:

CREATING AGENTS OF CHANGE

4-8 August 1995

Snowbird Resort and Conference Center

Snowbird, Utah

The Engineering Foundation and the American Association of Engineering Societies announce a conference on "Sustainable Development: Creating Agents of Change" to

be held 4-8 August 1995 at the Snowbird Resort and Conference in Snowbird, Utah. The conference co-chairs are Albert Grant, Past President of AAES, and Diana Bendz of IBM.

AAES has adopted a policy on the Role of the Engineering in Sustainable Development which puts forth action principles requiring significant changes in engineering education and practice. They involve engineer engagement in shaping decisions, sustainable development education for the profession and the public, integrated systems thinking and synthesis, new environmental-economic measures and analysis, sustainable technologies and processes, and expanded multidisciplinary partnerships.

The primary thrust of the conference will be to identify the changes that are needed to implement these principles, to identify the barriers to achieving "agents of change" that will help overcome these barriers. By drawing upon the knowledge and experience of experts in a wide range of disciplines and a diversity of "stakeholders," the conference is designed to produce a comprehensive set of techniques and strategies that engineers and others can use as a "tool kit" to create the environment for change essential to successful education and practice in sustainable development.
