Transition Engineering with Susan Krumdieck and Josh


Susan Krumdieck (PhD, mechanical engineering) is a Professor at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland and is the foremost global proponent of the emergent discipline of Transition Engineering.


Susan figured out “Doomer Optimism” before it was a thing and asked herself, “What can I do as an engineer?”


The answer was to elaborate a novel approach to tackling wicked challenges, dismantling the unsustainable systems that modernity depends on, and replacing them with systems that can serve people and ecosystems for the long term.

Her seminal textbook on Transition Engineering can be downloaded for free from the publisher.
