Format of the submission:
Avoid the use of lots of text and prefer graphical forms of communication that provide rich
information in a minimum amount of space (do include some text as Turnitin needs at least
20 words). This applies to the presentation of background information, evidence of a
trade-off, explanation of the trade-off, and suggestions. The marking scheme encourages
infographics types of submission rather than text-heavy posters.
If needs be, insert sound objects or videos to provide further information. This is preferable
to typing a long paragraph.
The submission should be as a poster and/or Powerpoint/Google Sheet presentation. You
can use any software but make sure that your final submission is compatible with formats
accepted by Moodle and Turnitin, and remember the requirements to have at 20 words for
Turnitin./nInstructions:
This coursework is individual.
The purpose of this assessment is to demonstrate your attainment of learning outcome 1:
Critically analyse global sustainability issues and national and international responses by
taking a broad view of sustainability that incorporates security and inclusivity.
For this assignment, you should identify one (or several) topic(s), related to engineering, that
you believe is controversial from a sustainability perspective. Using the graphical approach
used to draw causal chains in the social sustainability lecture, draw an illustration showing
the trade-offs that are taking place.
In this piece of coursework, you should provide at least one example of:
• An economic-environmental trade-off (trade off type 5 in the figure below)
• An economic-social trade-off (trade off type 4; including security and inclusivity)
• An inter-generational trade-off (1, 2, or 3 in the figure below).
