本文将首先概述工程专业的一些基本特征，以及改革的必要性。它将分析导致德尔夫特理工大学（DUT）决定在其课程中强调可持续发展（SD）的政治过程。这种教育的主要目标是表明，SD不是一个负担，而是一个挑战，以促进作为一个工程师。它将描述的变化，在工程课程的实施，并给出这些变化的初步评价。这些变化包括：·3 ECTS必修培训模块“可持续发展技术”，·在现有课程和设计工作中实施可持续发展问题，以及·开发特殊的硕士毕业证书。
This paper will first sketch some basic features of the engineering profession, and the need for change. It will analyse the political process that resulted in the decision at Delft University of Technology (DUT) to emphasise Sustainable Development (SD) in its curricula. The main goal of this education is to show that SD is not a burden, but a challenge to contribute to as an engineer. It will describe the changes in the engineering curriculum that were implemented and give a preliminary evaluation of these changes. The changes encompassed: • a 3 ECTS compulsory training module “Technology in Sustainable Development”, • implementing SD issues in existing courses and design work, and • the development of a special MSc graduation certificate.
