The SCABEE project focuses on integrating sustainability into business and engineering education by developing Sustainability Teaching Case Studies (TCS) as a continuous theme. These case studies aim to foster sustainable thinking and behavior among students, encouraging them to apply their knowledge to their future professional and personal lives, thereby contributing to the green transition of European industry.
The project’s main results include 16 TCS covering various phases of the circular economy, utilizing real industrial examples as learning material. Defined as case studies involving real situations, TCS are designed to teach sustainability through active student engagement, discussions, analyses, and solution-finding. These transdisciplinary TCS align with Bloom’s taxonomy and address different phases of the product life cycle, promoting skills and awareness of environmental impacts among engineering and business students.
Innovative aspects of the project include:
The project outlines four main objectives:
By addressing the gap in sustainability coverage across study programs, the SCABEE project complements existing initiatives and aims to make sustainability a more integral part of education. Through its innovative approach, it empowers students to explore sustainable products and solutions, ultimately transferring their knowledge and sustainable behavior to their future companies.
