It was with a great insight when Stephen Hawking uttered, “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” Incidentally, this also paraphrases Albert Einstein’s saying, “The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.” Adaptive Engineering: A Sustainable Development Endeavor aims at complementing sustainable development and technologies with adaptation. This entails engineering innovations that go hand in hand with responsible human behavior change.

The book presents various aspects of adaptive engineering in combination with civil and structural engineering, architecture, urban design and infrastructure, as well as environmental engineering, coastal engineering, climate change, ecology, energy management, and much more. It commences with a comprehensive review of the state of the art of adaptive engineering. It then elucidates multiple engineering fronts that have proven to be robust and versatile, paving the way to a resilient green tomorrow. The contributions from a diverse group of experts present a balanced reference compendium to keep professional engineers, students and researchers, policy makers, and various industry stakeholders abreast with the latest advancements.

David S-K. Ting is a professor in the Department of Mechanical, Automotive and Materials Engineering at the University of Windsor, Canada. Professor Ting supervises students mainly in the Renewable Energy and Thermofluid areas. He studied combustion, turbulence, heat transfer, and fluid-structure interactions prior to joining the University of Windsor. Dr. Ting founded the Turbulence and Energy Laboratory at University of Windsor in 2011. To date, he has co-supervised more than 75 graduate students, co-authored more than 130 journal papers, authored three textbooks, and co-edited seven books. Jacqueline A. Stagner is the Engineering Undergraduate Programs Coordinator at the University of Windsor, Canada. Dr. Stagner is an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Mechanical, Automotive and Materials Engineering, where she advises students in the Turbulence and Energy Laboratory. She holds a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering, a Master of Business Administration, and a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. She also worked as a release engineer in the automotive industry for six years. Dr. Stagner has co-edited two books.
