Introducing Sustainability into the Engineering Curriculum
Publication: ICSI 2014: Creating Infrastructure for a Sustainable World
Abstract
In response to problems, such as decreasing availability of resources, changing climate, and the need to minimize wastes, engineers are being asked to incorporate new constraints into their decision making. The result is the emerging field of sustainable engineering, which is changing the practice of engineering worldwide. Several efforts are underway to enable more efficient development, sharing, and use of sustainable engineering educational materials at universities. Here we discuss a couple of those efforts taking place in the United States, namely the activities of the Center for Sustainable Engineering operated by a consortium of universities, as well as plans to develop a community-oriented web platform to serve as a repository for educational materials.
