AB  -                    Incorporating Sustainability throughout the                Manufacturing Engineering Technology CurriculumManufacturing systems though create material wealth for humans; they consume a great amountof resources while generating a lot of waste. The waste generated during the manufacturingprocesses, at the use phase , and after the end of the life of the products is responsible for thedegradation of the environment. The harmful effects of our consumption and its final impact onthe humankind are well known [1, 2]. Various governments, national and international agencieshave been making efforts to generate strategies and action plans to educate the people andorganizations to strive towards this goal as soon as possible.In the USA, according to the government estimates, manufacturing consumes about one-third ofthe total energy used in the country. Therefore it is imperative that manufacturing industries needto strive for “Sustainable Manufacturing” on their part. Thus it is important for themanufacturing engineering technology students to have a clear understanding of Sustainabilityfrom the very early stage so that they can link it with every aspect of manufacturing. This willhelp them not only to get a better understanding of Sustainability but also to actually practice itin various stages of manufacturing.Sustainable or green manufacturing can be broadly classified into the three major areas of amanufacturing enterprise as:   ● Product Design for Sustainability   ● Sustainable Manufacturing Processes   ● Sustainable Manufacturing Systems (process/industrial engineering)The various core courses taught to manufacturing engineering technology students as per theSME four pillar methodology fall into these three categories. It is therefore necessary to includethe sustainable practices in each of these areas at various stages of teaching these courses. Thiswill help the students to link the sustainable practices in a realistic manner in relation to the coreconcepts of manufacturing engineering technology.The goal of this paper is to develop a comprehensive manufacturing engineering technologycurriculum incorporating sustainable or green manufacturing concepts. The research approachbeing employed is the utilization of surveys and focus group interviews to capture the essentialsustainability concepts that are required to be included in the curriculum.The paper will present the details of developing the manufacturing engineering technologycurriculum with the sustainability practices and the model curriculum that can be implemented intwo year and four year manufacturing engineering technology program.SELECTED REFERENCES[1] Kara, S., S.
