The document discusses how to integrate Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the subject Principles of Steel and Timber Design. It suggests emphasizing using sustainable materials like wood in infrastructure to support SDG 9's goal of resilient infrastructure. It also recommends building inclusive, secure, and sustainable cities by integrating sustainable planning and design concepts to achieve SDG 11. Furthermore, it stresses applying sustainable techniques in planning and building steel and timber structures under SDG 9, and considering disaster resilience, transit access, and density when designing under SDG 11. Integrating the course with SDGs 9 and 11 can help design safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly structures that positively impact sustainable development.

“How can we integrate Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) in the subject
Principles of Steel and Timber Design?”
Building robust infrastructure, encouraging equitable and sustainable
industrialization, and stimulating innovation are the three main objectives of Sustainable Development Goal 9. However, inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable cities and human settlements are the focus of Sustainable Development Goal 11. We can integrate these objectives into the Principles of Steel and Timber Design course by stressing the value of utilizing sustainable materials, such as wood, in urban infrastructure projects in order to support SDG 9's objective of creating resilient infrastructure. Furthermore, by building inclusive, secure, and sustainable cities, the integration of sustainable urban planning and design concepts into building projects may help to achieve the goals of Sustainable Development Goal 11.
SDG 9 emphasizes the use of sustainable techniques, like reusing resources,
maximizing material consumption, and putting in place energy-efficient manufacturing processes, in the planning and building of steel and timber structures. Furthermore, in order to lessen the influence on the environment and increase resource efficiency, place an emphasis on innovation in building methods and materials.
On the contrary, SDG 11 emphasizes that compact, effective, and resilient
cities are encouraged by the design of steel and timber structures, which will support sustainable urban development. Throughout the design process, take into account elements like disaster resilience, transit accessibility, and urban density. Prioritize using materials that are sourced locally as well in order to lower transportation-related emissions and boost regional economy.
Through the alignment of Principles of Steel and Timber Design with
Sustainable Development Goals 9 and 11, practitioners may design structures that are safe, efficient, and ecologically responsible while also making a positive impact on sustainable development.
