近年来，工业生态学（IE）已越来越多地融入正规教育作为一个独特的工作机构。这篇文章的目的是描述IE在世界各地的高等教育的状态，通过提供一个清单的程序和课程提供的搜索在2012年夏天进行。虽然对结果进行了一些解释，但本文的目的是提供2012年高等教育IE状态的快照，并作为未来工作的起点。通过互联网搜索收集了世界各地IE课程和计划的数据，以确定IE在中学后课程中的流行程度。随后，来自46个国家的190所大学和学院被确定为提供IE课程和/或计划。从这项研究中，共有409门课程和78个程序进行了盘点和课程内容进行了分析（如果可用）。结果表明，IE主要是在工程和环境学科的研究生水平的研究，虽然本科水平的课程正在出现。就提供上述课程的学科部门而言，工业教育是作为不同研究领域的教学专题提出的，如商业和管理以及艺术。从课程大纲分析，在工业工程教育中教授的主要科目是入门原理和通用工具。该领域的高级或专业方面也包括在内，但不太频繁。
In recent years, industrial ecology (IE) has become increasingly integrated into formal education as a distinct body of work. The aim of this article is to describe the state of IE in postsecondary education across the world by providing an inventory of programs and courses offered from a search conducted during the summer of 2012. Although some interpretation of the results is conducted, the aim of this article is to provide a snapshot of the state of IE in higher education in 2012 and serve as a starting point for future work. Data were collected on IE courses and programs across the world by Internet search in order to determine the prevalence of IE in postsecondary curricula. Subsequently, 190 universities and colleges from 46 countries were identified as offering courses and/or programs in IE. From this research, a total of 409 courses and 78 programs were inventoried and course content was analyzed (where available). The results indicate that IE is mainly studied at the graduate level within engineering and environmental disciplines, although undergraduate‐level curricula are emerging. In terms of disciplinary departments offering said curricula, IE is presented as a topic of instruction in varied fields of study, such as business and administration, and the arts. From the course syllabi analyzed, the main subjects being taught within IE education are introductory principles and general tools. Advanced or specialized aspects of the field are also covered, however, less frequently.
