SUSTAINABLE ENGINEERING EDUCATION EMBEDDED CURRICULA RESEARCH PROJECT

A previous conference paper with case study report findings began this research so as to inform and be of use to the International Association for Continuing Engineering Education (IACEE) institutions and its membership on the importance of embedding sustainability in all engineering education courses from the beginning to the end of the Degree and beyond into Continuing Engineering Education (CEE) . This present project continues to qualitatively research and investigate the extent to which and how Engineering Learning Curricula (ELC) incorporate and embed sustainability as central to the future work practice of all engineers. Specifically, as the project takes a more comprehensive and longer-term approach to be of ongoing use to all engineering education faculties and institutions, corporate and government policy development, as well as Continuing Engineering Education (CEE) providers. This research uses the digital platform of Sustainability Education & Research IN Action (SERinA), an IACEE Global Initiative, as a future database reporting on best ELC practices in all forms of Engineering Education and post-CEE practice. IACEE's academic engineering member organisations, member institutions, and other engineering institutions outside of the IACEE will be incorporated in the long term into this research project. Initially, information will be obtained via each institution's external website and its academics for this research project and this report paper. This project will also, in the future, seek to interview graduate engineering students on how effective their degrees were in embedding sustainable learning understandings useful in their post-graduate world of engineering practice.
