Faculty identified four major areas where barriersto integrating sustainability concepts exist: (1) shifting paradigms around sustainability; (2) therigidity of the existing curricular structure; (3) requirement of new teaching methods; and (4)insufficient resources. The workshop participants agreed that the barriers that pose the greatestdifficulty (i.e., are the least “easy” to “fix”) are not technological but those involving the humansystem, such as “accepting sustainability as engineering,” or “new thinking and newcollaborations.” Page 25.294.4Figure 3.
