developments towards sustainability in production based on life cycle thinking.
Modern production enables a high standard of living worldwide through products
and services. Global responsibility requires a comprehensive integration of
sustainable development fostered by new paradigms, innovative technologies,
methods and tools as well as business models. Minimizing material and energy
usage, adapting material and energy flows to better fit natural process capacities,
and changing consumption behaviour are important aspects of future production.
A life cycle perspective and an integrated economic, ecological and social
evaluation are essential requirements in management and engineering.

Preface
The 3rd Indo-German Conference on Sustainability in Engineering: Enhancing
future Skills and Entrepreneurship aims at raising awareness, providing hands-on
training, and sharing the latest knowledge in the areas of sustainability in various
engineeringfieldstodiscussthenewermethodsofteaching-learningandhigh-tech
entrepreneurship. The papers are divided into three categories: sustainability,
entrepreneurship, and engineering education.
Sustainability in all fields of engineering, particularly in manufacturing, is
essentialforaworldworthlivingin.Resourceconservationandenergyefficiencyin
manufacturing not only reduce the environmental impacts of industries, but also
improve their competitiveness. The UN Sustainable Development Goals call for
immediateactions.InGermany,severalprogramsaimedatprogressingtheEnergy
Transition and mitigating climate change. India as an example has an ambitious
target of 100 GW solar energy production by 2022. In its NDC (Nationally
Determined Contributions), India has promised to ensure that at least 40% of its
energyin2030wouldbegeneratedfromnon-fossilfuelsourceslikesolar,wind,or
bio-fuels. Many researchers are working on India-specific applications of solar
energyharvestingtechniques.Someofthepapersonrenewableenergy discussthe
renewableenergyforecasting,design&simulation,anddevelopingsolarcurricula.
Case studies on lean and green manufacturing discuss the application of these
techniques. Papers on the machining area focus on the soft and intelligent sensors
developed for the energy measurement and surface roughness prediction.
The Circular Economy Initiative Germany brings together partners from
industry,academia,andsocialstakeholderstogether.Inaddition,inIndia,thereisa
huge potential for the circular economy. For example, the estimated size of the
recycled PET business in India is $400–550 million. For instance, PET waste in
India is recycled by the organized sector (65%), unorganized sector (15%), and
reused at home (10%). Plastic recycling and their use in 3-D printing are also
demonstrated. The papers on life cycle engineering of ceramic products focus on
the high environmental impact areas of the supply chain to be mitigated.

vi Preface
German academic institutions play a leading role in progressing the concept of
learning factories. India has been facing challenges also on the engineering edu-
cation front—from decline in number of enrolments to unemployment of engi-
neering graduates—since 2014. Indian engineering graduates seem to have poor
problem-solving skills. The papers also discuss the newer teaching/learning
methods based on the use of learning factories to improve problem-solving and
personalskills ofstudents. Indiacanalsoconvert thelarge numberofunemployed
engineeringgraduateslookingforjobsintotechentrepreneurs,evenofferingjobsto
others.
While addressing the Government of India’s missions of “Make in India” and
“Start-upIndia”,theobjectivesofthisconferencearetoraiseawarenessamongthe
participants about the new paradigm of sustainable manufacturing, entrepreneur-
ship, and engineering education. The conference is intended for the managers
working in the manufacturing organizations, budding entrepreneurs and
faculty/consultants working in the area of engineering, entrepreneurship, and
education.Thehands-ontrainingwasprovidedontheFESTOMPSsystemsinthe
Learning Factory and life cycle assessment software during the conference.
The conference provides a platform to more than 60 participants from different
parts of India, Germany, and the USA to exchange ideas and network. The con-
ference is conducted under the aegis of Indo-German Center for Sustainable
Manufacturing (IGCSM), set up by collaborative efforts of Birla Institute of
Technology and Science Pilani and Technische Universität Braunschweig,
Germany. The cooperative efforts have attracted funding from various agencies in
Germany and India to sustain the sustainability initiatives of IGCSM. More than
100personnelfrombothcountrieshavevisitedeachothertoexperienceandbenefit
from different cultures and teaching/learning environments.
Let us learn from each other and let us make this world worth living in!
