Special Session - engineering for a sustainable world: How do we incorporate sustainability in undergraduate engineering education?

摘要

Sustainability principles in engineering are currently taught and promoted through graduate programs and professional engineering societies. It is appropriate that sustainability principles are also addressed in undergraduate engineering education. Retooling an existing undergraduate engineering curriculum to include comprehensive coverage of sustainability may be outside of the expertise or purview of an individual educator. However, sustainability principles can still be introduced to different degrees and at different class levels within an existing curriculum. This Special Session seeks to facilitate discussion of how to best incorporate sustainability in undergraduate engineering education and also seeks to build a cohort of engineering educators that join James Madison University in a desire to bring sustainability education into the engineering classroom.
