Multidisciplinary advances in science and engineering for sustainable technological innovation examined the role of collaboration, emerging technology adoption, sustainability integration, renewable energy awareness, and industrial application in strengthening sustainable technological development. A quantitative primary research design was adopted, and data were collected from 150 respondents drawn from academic, research, industrial, and engineering-related environments. A structured questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale was used to obtain measurable responses from participants across mechanical, civil, electrical, electronics, computer science, data science, artificial intelligence, chemical, materials, environmental, energy, and industrial engineering fields. The data were coded, cleaned, and analyzed using Python, with descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression applied to evaluate the relationships among the study variables. The results showed high agreement across all variables, with sustainable technological innovation recording the highest mean score. Correlation analysis revealed positive and statistically significant relationships between all independent variables and sustainable technological innovation. Regression analysis showed that the predictors explained 61.0% of the variance in sustainable technological innovation, with emerging technology adoption having the strongest effect, followed by sustainability integration and multidisciplinary collaboration. The findings concluded that sustainable technological progress depends on digital transformation, interdisciplinary cooperation, environmental responsibility, renewable energy awareness, and practical industrial implementation.
