A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
The data consider courses that are available as of September 2021 over a three-year planning. Five criteria were selected when looking through the entire course descriptions for the sustainability-focused courses.
All environmental courses (water treatment, soil remediation etc.) are considered as "sustainability" courses. Courses regarding environmental engineering, renewable energy or green technologies were considered as sustainability courses, as they are central to the contribution that engineers can make to sustainability in their professional practice.
When the title of the course clearly states the intent (Sustainable Manufacturing, Renewable Energy etc.), it is also automatically considered as a "sustainability course".
When less obvious, a more thorough analysis was performed according to the following learning objectives (knowledge - competencies):
-Know sustainable development principles
-Know impacts of engineering on the environment and society
-Know how to use cleaner technologies
-Be able to integrate sustainability tools or criteria when solving engineering -problems
-Be able to involve stakeholders
A new keywords search Excel tool was used for the sustainability-inclusive courses. Various tests and validations have been made to ensure the accuracy of the tool.
A final validation was made by comparing results from previous years to the 2021-2022 results.
