Description
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), established by the United Nations in 2015, are having a significant influence on policy development worldwide. However, there is a key question about whether current and future engineering graduates will be equipped to contribute significantly to the achievement of these goals and provide sustainable solutions. One way to consider this is to better understand the level of focus within existing curricula of engineering degrees towards the SDGs.
