AB  - In 2015, the United Nations adopted "Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" and proposed the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which pointed out the direction for global sustainable development in the next 15 years.
Engineering plays a vital role in sustainable development. On World Engineering Day 2021, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Tsinghua University, UNESCO, and the International Center for Engineering Education jointly published the UNESCO Global Engineering Report "Engineering - Supporting Sustainable Development". In the report, a range of initiatives by engineering to advance the achievement of the global sustainable development goals is explored in detail.
Therefore, it can be seen that engineering education for sustainable development is one of the important directions of engineering education in the future.
East China University of Science and Technology （ECUST）is a research-oriented university specializing in chemical engineering. It has certain advantages in scientific and technological innovation and personnel training related to carbon neutrality. The university has started engineering education for sustainable development many years ago. ECUST has mainly taken the following measures.
1. In terms of philosophy. ECUST puts forward the core competencies of engineering education for sustainable development from three dimensions of knowledge, skills and attitudes. Moreover, a new concept of green engineering education is put forward, and the 12 principles of green engineering are fully integrated into the talent training link of engineering education.
2. In terms of courses. ECUST has newly added 12 courses including "Corporate EHS Risk Management Fundamentals" and "Green China" in the general course module.
3. In terms of teaching materials. ECUST actively integrates the 12 principles of green engineering into textbooks and cases. ECUST revised and newly edited 30 textbooks reflecting the concept of green engineering education, and built 60 green engineering education teaching cases, covering engineering, science, management, law and other disciplines.
4. In terms of practical teaching. ECUST has built more than 3,000 square meters of multi-disciplinary sharing and entrepreneurship practice base "G Space" featuring green engineering, and built an open and shared EHS training base through university-enterprise cooperation. Using VR technology, the university has built 8 large-scale VR training cases, 105 panoramic teaching videos, and 60 virtual simulation experiment projects in the professional fields of green chemistry, chemical engineering, energy and environment, which are national and even world-leading for experimental practice teaching.
5. In terms of cultural construction. ECUST built China's first "waste plastic recycling and environmental protection road" on campus, established a "garbage bank" as a "stored value" for "green city" accounts, and organized community garbage classification popularization activities to cultivate students' concept of sustainable development.
This paper will focus on the above five aspects to introduce the measures of ECUST in engineering education for sustainable development in detail, in order to form a typical case and provide reference experience for other parts of the world to carry out engineering education sustainable development.
