EESF aims to develop and implement innovative learning practices in engineering education across higher education institutions, equipping undergraduates with the skills to address societal challenges and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals through a focus on environmental sustainability and civic engagement.
The EESF project is centered on weaving sustainability into the fabric of engineering education, advancing beyond simple operational enhancements to impact the fundamental learning journey. This initiative is spurred by the global imperative of SDG 4.7, stressing the necessity for all learners to acquire skills and knowledge that champion sustainable development, and is in line with broader schemes such as the EU Green Deal and various national education strategies.
The Discovery and Research work package aims to equip HEI educators with the motivation and knowledge to incorporate SDGs into engineering courses. It will produce two reports assessing current sustainability teaching and highlighting effective practices, ultimately enhancing the integration of sustainability into engineering education.
These open educational resources aims to provide engineering educators with the tools and skills to integrate SDGs into their teaching, enhancing existing curricula. It will create Open Educational Resources and identify effective teaching methods for sustainability. The outcomes include a suite of OERs and a guide for their use in various teaching scenarios, ultimately boosting educator confidence and student understanding of sustainability challenges.
