Materials engineering is particularly important for addressingsustainability, since materials engineers are involved both in the production and processing ofmaterials with low energy use and low environmental impact (supply side) as well as in theselection of materials (demand side). Thus, sustainability concepts are especially relevant inmaterials engineering courses and curricula.Sustainability content can be integrated into existing materials engineering courses or presentedin separate courses, both of which have value.
