Whileadvances in knowledge and technology are creating excitement in science and engineeringeducation, tomorrow’s engineer must also be able to write and communicate well; considerethics and social responsibilities; understand business; and live and work in teams as a globalcitizen.

Sustainable engineering refers to “practices that promote environmental, social andeconomic sustainability through greater resource efficiency, reduced pollution and considerationof the wider social impacts of new technologies, processes and practices” [2], [10]. Sustainableengineering highlights natural resource preservations, eco-efficient solutions that support naturalenvironments. Engineering education for sustainable development (EESD), in contrast, not onlyincludes the environmental aspect, but also focuses on the teaching of technical, economic, andsocial aspects of development, and in our discussions, is framed by all 17 of the UN SDGs.
