Insights and Practice on Embedding Sustainability in Engineering Education

Simon Philbin

Research output: Contribution to conferencepresentation

Abstract

The presentation will provide insights and lessons learned from a recent initiative in the School of Engineering at LSBU to embed sustainability and wider research impact in engineering education for MSc and final year MEng courses. This was part of the redesign of an existing module, including creation of new lecture material and accompanying tutorial session combined with revised module assessment framework (formative and summative assessment). The presentation will highlight the approach taken to redesign the module to include research impact, sustainability and the SDGs as well as related concepts such as the triple bottom line and the circular economy.
