Universities of Applied Sciences have emerged from the former German ″Ingenieurschule″ and ″Fachhochschule″ and from this tradition they have a strong focus on engineering and industrial application. This poses a particular challenge on the implementation process for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) at these universities. We look at these implementation processes from a managerial and organisational point of view. We have a twofold focus:
The processes and methods to implement ESD at a university
The pedagogical methods for ESD
The basis for all activities is a sustainability portfolio, which combines sustainable development (SD) in education, research, operation and transfer (EROT) with a holistic approach of SD. Working on the implementation process for ten years conducting action research, various methods have emerged like the prepared projects method for students′ projects on sustainability or the development and use of educational games.
