随着大气温室气体浓度持续上升,气候变化的后果变得越来越具有破坏性,工程师,科学家和更广泛的人群现在都意识到气候变化是我们无法避免的威胁。应对气候变化需要面对两个相互关联的挑战。首先是迅速过渡到碳中和甚至碳负能源系统,同时减少所有经济部门的温室气体排放。第二个挑战是通过建立可持续和有复原力的系统,尽量减少气候变化的影响,特别是对最脆弱人口的影响。应对这些挑战将需要从根本上重塑工程教育。下一代工程师和当前的从业者将需要新的技能,以在这种不确定性和快速变化的环境中为社会服务。赋予工程师应对气候变化带来的挑战的技能,需要调整工程教育中使用的技术和哲学框架。特别是,工程师将需要(1)了解气候和可持续性如何与工程设计相关联;(2)将广泛的学科纳入工程解决方案;(3)了解工程的道德和正义维度;(4)倾听并与不同的社区合作。开发这些技能需要重新构想工程教育和从学生到高级从业者的持续专业发展。
As atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations continue to rise and the consequences of climate change become increasingly destructive, engineers, scientists, and the broader population are now aware that climate change is a threat we can no longer avoid. Addressing climate change requires facing two interconnected challenges. The first is to rapidly transition to carbon neutral—or even carbon negative—energy systems while reducing greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors of the economy. The second challenge is to minimize the impacts of climate change, particularly for the most vulnerable populations, by building sustainable and resilient systems. Addressing these challenges will require a fundamental reshaping of engineering education. The next generation of engineers and current practitioners will need new skills to serve society in this environment of uncertainty and rapid change. Empowering engineers with the skills to address the challenges created by climate change requires adapting both the technological and philosophical frameworks used in engineering education. In particular, engineers will need to (1) understand how climate and sustainability are linked to engineering design;(2) incorporate a wide range of disciplines into engineering solutions;(3) understand the ethics and justice dimensions of engineering; and (4) listen to and collaborate with diverse communities. Developing these skills requires reimagining engineering education and continuing professional development from student to senior practitioner.
