摘要

This paper addresses the issue of engineering education for sustainable development. In an attempt to facilitate a better integration of sustainability teaching into the engineering curriculum, it seeks to provide answers to the following fundamental questions: (1) How much do engineering students know about sustainable development? (2) What are the knowledge gaps? (3) What could be the best approach to educating engineering students for sustainable development? Some answers to the first two questions have been provided by carrying out a world-wide survey of engineering students on their level of knowledge and understanding of sustainable development. The survey results suggest that, overall, the level of knowledge is not satisfactory and that significant knowledge gaps exist. However, an encouraging result is that students believe that sustainable development is important for engineers, although they often have difficulties in making a direct link between the theory of sustainable development and engineering practice. To address the third question, the paper then discusses the implications of these findings for the engineering curriculum. It also illustrates an approach to teaching sustainability that could help to stimulate students' interest in this subject during their studies and to ensure their commitment to practising sustainable engineering later as professionals.

(3)教育工程专业学生促进可持续发展的最佳方法是什么?通过对工程专业学生进行有关知识水平和对可持续发展的理解的全球调查,可以提供对前两个问题的一些答案。调查结果表明,总体而言,知识水平不令人满意,并且存在巨大的知识差距。然而,令人鼓舞的结果是,学生们认为可持续发展对工程师很重要,尽管他们经常难以在可持续发展理论与工程实践之间建立直接联系。为了解决第三个问题,本文然后讨论了这些发现对工程课程的影响。它还说明了一种教学可持续性的方法,该方法可以帮助激发学生在学习过程中对该学科的兴趣,并确保他们以后以专业人员的身份实践可持续工程。
