Transition engineering

Transition Engineering is an engineering discipline that enables change from unsustainable existing systems to more sustainable ones. Just as safety considerations are incorporated into design parameters in all engineering fields, sustainability thinking is also built in. Transition engineering is emerging as a field to give engineers the tools necessary to address sustainability in design. Transition engineering is a cross-disciplinary field that addresses the issues of future resource availability and identifies, then realizes opportunities in resilience and adaptation.
== Overview ==

Engineering professions emerge when new technologies, new problems or new opportunities arise. This was the case when safety engineering grew in the early 1900s to combat the high workplace injury and fatality rates. In the 1960s, Environmental engineering emerged as a discipline to reduce industrial pollution and mitigate impacts on environmental health and water quality. Quality engineering came about with the increase in mass production techniques during WWII and the need to confirm the quality of the products.
There are two serious problems driving the emergence of Transition Engineering; the exponential growth in the concentration of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere and the lack of growth and imminent decline of conventional oil production known as peak oil. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere recently exceeded 400ppm, a level that Earth has not known for 800,000 years. Transition engineering aims to take advantage of the current access to the remaining lower cost and higher EROI energy resources to re-develop all aspects of urban and industrial engineered systems to adapt as fossil fuel use is dramatically reduced.
