CS, Engineering, And The Environment Blog

Name Institutional Affiliation Course Title Instructor Date CS, Engineering, and the Environment Blog Within the context of computer science/engineering, sustainability development (SD) attempts to optimize environmental and socioeconomic resources by applying mathematical and computer science models. Climate change is one of the biggest issues facing the world today and one of the approaches to resolve this problem largely depends on joint efforts in policy changes, climate science, and emerging technologies. Computer scientists/engineers can help mitigate direct impacts of computers to the environment by reducing the amount of power they consume and check on the socioeconomic costs of producing, maintaining and disposing different computer components. Currently, data centres are the most power intensive, consuming about 0.5 percent of the total global energy and this is projected to quadrup...
