ABSTRACT
This chapter provides examples of sustainable engineering practices and challenges and needs for the future education and research. It demonstrates some case studies of sustainable engineering practices. Education programs have introduced the sustainable development concepts in to courses to undergraduate engineering students. Specialization in sustainable development in new degrees may be another option. By enhancing international exposure, the collaborations will foster globally sustainable work practices in trainees. Trainees are required to attend workshops and professional skills training. These workshops enhance the ability of trainees to write and present effectively, to plan and manage projects, to study abroad during exchanges, to understand ethical practices, and to speak in another language. Interdisciplinary programs are necessary for training engineers in the circular economy. Engineers need to work together and be more involved in decision-making at all stages of the project. More partnerships are needed between social scientists, physical science, health and engineering professionals, education, governance and society.
