Abstract

The goal of this paper is to point out the challenges of integrating sustainability issues in a regular industrial design curriculum, and to provide insights how this is addressed at Delft University of Technology. It also aims at stimulating the discussion on the issue of offering sustainability education separately from or integrated in regular courses. Special attention will be given to ways in which the reality of industry and business - anywhere in the world - can be (and is) brought into academic courses
