Summit on Global Sustainability in Engineering Education: Developing Knowledge and Planning for Strategic Processing

可持续发展已成为工程教育中一个非常重要的主题。根据工程和技术认证委员会（ABET）的成果H，工程师需要“广泛的教育，以了解工程解决方案在全球，经济，环境和社会背景下的影响。“因此，为了让工程师履行他们的责任，为全球挑战找到可持续的解决方案，新毕业生必须具备必要的知识，技能和意识，以发现可行的，理想的和可行的解决方案，包括可持续发展的概念。 国际工程师协会正在召开一次“工程教育全球可持续性峰会”，以便：（a）召集一批经过挑选的研究人员，探讨将可持续性意识和原则纳入工程教育的教学模式;（B）为开发和部署上述学习模块制定行动计划;（c）在美洲各大学引入全球可持续性意识。所有与会者都必须通过会议出版物传播首脑会议和首脑会议后的成果。 PI将通过拉丁美洲和加勒比工程直觉联合会和ASEE年度会议博览会进行传播。 此外，根据首脑会议编写的所有材料都将张贴在网上。

Sustainability has become a very important topic in engineering education. According to Outcome H of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) engineers need to have "the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context." Therefore in order for engineers to fulfill their responsibility to find sustainable solutions to worldwide challenges new graduates must have the necessary knowledge, skills, and awareness to discover viable, desirable, and feasible solutions that include sustainability concepts. The PIs are convening a "Summit on Global Sustainability in Engineering Education" to: (a) gather a select group of researchers to explore pedagogical models that incorporate sustainability awareness and principles in engineering education; (b) formulate action plans for developing and deploying said learning modules; and (c) introduce global sustainability awareness at different universities in the Americas. All participants are required to disseminate Summit and post-Summit results through conference publications. The PIs will target dissemination through the Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Intuitions and the ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition. In addition all materials developed based on the Summit will be posted and available online.
