Technology Program. Thecurriculum revision focused on two key topics from the EOP framework: EnvironmentalLiteracy and Responsible Business and Economy. Through this integration, students wereintroduced to sustainability principles such as whole life cycle thinking, closed-loop systems, andinclusive business models that prioritize product durability, ethical practices, and responsivenessto evolving social, economic, and environmental demands. Retrospective pre- and post-courseevaluations revealed significant improvements in students' understanding of sustainabilityconcepts. These improvements were demonstrated by their ability to recognize opportunities foraddressing environmental challenges and assess risks and trade-offs in sustainable
