Green Engineering Education in Chemical Engineering Curricula: A Quarter Century of Progress and Prospects for Future Transformations

摘要

Over the past 25 years, the inclusion of sustainability and green engineering content in chemical engineering curricula has increased significantly. Currently, most chemical engineering students have the opportunity to learn green engineering tools and principles through elective courses; the evolution to this current state of practice is described, along with the challenges associated with fully integrating Green Engineering and sustainability concepts and tools into the courses required of all chemical engineering students.
