Knowledge Engineering for Innovation and Sustainability is an interdisciplinary examination, not only of knowledge engineering, but also innovation, allowing environmental scientists to gain a better understanding of technological solutions and innovative methods. It is organized in a methodical way, first by defining sustainability and innovation, then by laying out a conceptual framework. The book goes on to explore causality and systems thinking for examining a particular phenomenon, and then presents processes for analysis and design. Finally, it lays out the narrative of sustainability as well as what needs to be done to ensure the future of sustainability. By applying key concepts of innovation and knowledge engineering to sustainability problems, Knowledge Engineering for Innovation and Sustainability provides a structured approach to putting theory into practice for sustainable development.

This maker's handbook is packed with amazing projects that teach science, technology and design skills to help you come up with stylish, fun creations.Inside, you'll learn how to make light-up bags, create a speaker from a Pringles tube, design your own resin jewellery, and grow amazing crystal flowers. Other projects include a light-sensitive door sign, color-changing bath bombs and self-watering planters. With craft concepts ranging from simple to advanced, there's something for every skill set. Each project comes with a short explanation of the science behind it, and every stage is heavily illustrated and photographed to ensure that following the instructions is simple for everyone.

Topology optimization is a digital method for designing objects in order to achieve the best structural performance, sometimes in combination with other physical requirements. Topology optimization tools use mathematical algorithms, such as the finite element method and gradient computation, to generate designs based on desired characteristics and predetermined constraints. Initially a purely academic tool, topology optimization has advanced rapidly and is increasingly being applied to the design of a wide range of products and components, from furniture to spacecraft. To explore the potential and challenges of topology optimization, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine hosted a two-day workshop on November 19-20, 2019, Exploiting Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities: Topology Optimization in Design. The workshop was organized around three main topics: how topology optimization can incorporate manufacturability along with functional design; challenges and opport
