Abstract
The pivotal role that science and engineering play in our world today cannot be overemphasised. In fact, the transformation that science and technological innovations has brought to different aspects of human existence is enormous. This is because science and engineering has the turned the whole world into a global village where communication, transportation, exchange of goods and services among others have become simplified to enhance efficiency and sustainability. Thus, this chapter x-rayed the prime place of adaptable and sustainable science, engineering and technology (ASSET) with the aim of harnessing its multifaceted applications (benefits) for enhancing peaceful human co-existence in a changing world order.
