TEACHING ENGLISH FOR SUSTAINABLE ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The purpose of any educational system should be to assist institutions and subject communities in developing curricula and pedagogy that will endow students with the necessary skills and knowledge to live and work sustainably. Hence, higher technical education for sustainable development will allow every engineering student to acquire the knowledge, competences, attitudes and values necessary to shape a successful professional future. Today’s education and technical higher education respectively is crucial to the ability of present engineering students and future engineers and citizens to create solutions and find new paths to a better future. The qualitative results of our research have revealed some of the factors ensuring engineering students’ sustainable development as far as the study of foreign languages is concerned.
