That's just a subset of mechanical and electrical engineering.

Well, I have to try to sell it a little...
We're trying to get a sustainable curriculum going here. EE and ME are definitely the meat of the technical side, but there's a lot of economic and resource considerations (roi's and cost/benefit analysis) It's kind of a patchwork of many disciplines. The most important aspect of a stand-alone subforum is that it encourages discussion in a particular subject. Sustainability is a topic of growing interest nowadays and, in my opinion, a valuable one.

Perhaps one could start a thread on Sustainable Development/Engineering in
Engineering Systems & Design
https://www.physicsforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=99
Sustainable development would encompass a lot of disciplines. One could include topics of energy, infrastructure, agriculture, water, waste, . . . .
Economics is part of the problem, as are natural resources.
