Abstract
The needs of tomorrow's engineers are changing, and so must their education today.
A drive for net zero is influencing all sectors and industries. Our graduates need to be literate in sustainable development (SD), understand the role of engineering to meet this agenda and hold core SD competencies. Sustainability now included in UK Spec vr4, AHEP and subject benchmark statements are changing. Evidence also shows that students in Higher Education expect sustainable education as part of their studies.
