Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
Education on sustainability is one of the main stakes of our century. As engineers design technologies and participate actively to industrial activities, their education to design for sustainability is paramount. In the literature, engineering skills for sustainability are well identified. Also, pedagogical experiments on the integration of these competences in engineering curricula are reported. This article describes a pedagogical situation which corresponds to the modeling of interactions between a technical system, human organizations and the biosphere. The article analyzes whether this type of representation can allow students to acquire certain engineering skills for sustainability.
