history of engineers. At present, 30 textbooks reflecting the concept of greenengineering education have been revised and newly edited, covering variousdisciplines such as engineering, science, management and law.2. Construction of Green Engineering Courses ECUST has offered a series of courses related to green engineering. First,"Fundamentals of Enterprise EHS Risk Management" has been offered to allengineering undergraduates as a compulsory course. This course built by over fortycorporate alumni and university faculty was listed as a national-level MOOC in 2017.Taken by about 2,300 people each year, it has been listed as a required or electivecourse by 106 universities nationwide. Second, eight "Green Engineering" electivecourses have been

. That systems thinking perspective can be applied to anything, really, including social problems.”The first offering of introduction to sustainability challenges course was in the Fall 2015semester. Metrics for the engineering sustainability designation as a whole, such as participationand placement, indicated some positive results (for example, see above) but assessments of thelearning outcomes for the introductory seminar class (see Table 2 below for learning outcomesand current assessment plan) also indicated some areas where we fell short of learning targets inthe initial years of the designation. For instance, students’ ability to describe sustainability wasrather anemic.For example, D.T. (2018) wrote in a final reflection paper (see

initiative to transform engineering education to reflect the growingimportance of sustainability in all engineering functions.16 EOP was developed and is evolving 2023 ASEE National Conferencethrough collaborations among hundreds of sustainability advocates across sectors, geographies,and lived experiences. EOP seeks to ensure all future engineers, across all disciplines, learn thefundamental skills and principles of social and environmental sustainability.The EOP Framework was first launched in 2020 and is a cornerstone of the EOP initiative. Theframework is the first of its kind in that it incorporates to guide to coursework, teaching tools,and student experiences that define what it means to be an engineer who is
