Abstract

The present work aims to calculate the economic-financial viability of using eco-friendly cups as a substitute for disposable cups, based on data from the State University of Northern Paraná. In Brazil, their recycling is not attractive from a commercial standpoint, and their inadequate disposal contaminates soils and watercourses. Nevertheless, regarding the institution, there is a high consumption of these materials in the exercise of activities and in environments serving external audiences. In this context, the replacement of disposable cups with reusable containers in the higher education institution (HEI) is an alternative to assist both sustainability and economy. The evaluation for the possible substitution consisted of an economic-financial analysis (Net Present Value - NPV) from several scenarios. As a conclusion, it can be said that this study presents an economic and sustainable alternative to the use of disposable cups within a HEI.

Abstract

The conventional use of paper-based operations in daily working practices introduces numerous risks and financial burdens. Nowadays, Universities are aligning with the growing movement of "green" campuses. Going paperless is a green initiative contributing to sustainable development goals 11 and 12. Ain Shams University (ASU) attempted to establish a paperless campus through digital transformation as this movement promises high-quality academic and administrative services. This paper aims to highlight ASUs developed 3 R’s approach for paper waste reduction include switching to electronic exams, customizing paper amounts annually, implementing electronic payment and service options, and using barcodes for cafeterias by creating E-Systems to deliver services online. Starting with the ASU community’s cultural level, awareness campaigns are being conducted on proper waste management. Parallelly, segregation bins are placed throughout the campus to effectively separate waste streams for recycling options, either internally by the artistic activities or externally by our specialized partners. To ensure the efficiency of this digital transformation, this study investigates the different waste streams, generation rates and quantities. Statistical methods will be used to analyze relationships between variables and identify potential paper waste reduction and recycling plans. The outcome of this study is an evaluation of the current progress in implementing the strategy. Additionally, it could be used as a case study for developing strategies in moving toward establishing a successful paperless university model

Abstract

UI GreenMetric was established before the initiative of the Sustainable Development Goals and other ranking to encourage universities in achieving sustainable development through their early awareness of environmental management on campus. In 2019, Times Higher Education launched a new ranking, namely the THE Impact Rankings, that assessed Sustainability progress implementation on campus. In this paper, we evaluate the impact of the consistency of university that have been participated in UI GreenMetric World University Rankings (UIGWUR) since 2010 to 2021. We evaluate 36 universities on the correlation between good performance in UIGWUR to the THE Impact ranking performed by 2019-2021. The results reveal that UI GreenMetric as an assessment tool, helped those universities in terms of shaping university readiness to achieve sustainable development. Those universities compete through annual reporting and the provided evidence of their progress on UI GreenMetric. Moreover, some universities have a high commitment to become sustainable campus through participating in sustainability-related rankings to monitor their progress regardless of the ranking results.

Abstract

When we talk about education, those traces of memory that have remained in us come to mind, this is due to complex processes that generate changes in the person and these transformations that impact life and society. You could not talk about education without training. Education is fundamental from the first years and it is essential that it be taught from the family, through which teaching is articulated, knowledge is acquired and consolidated, and virtues for life are formed. One of the biggest challenges in this time of education is to return to comprehensive training, one that leaves individualized teachings and allows learning to be achieved that integrates systems, such as the environment, culture, society and, above all, work. As a team that promotes a more balanced and fairer world, this will be the challenge that makes the difference.

Abstract

Oguz han Engineering and Technology University of Turkmenistan is a higher education institution, which specializes in training engineers with innovative views. Training of future professionals that “Engineer a Sustainable World” requires not only new competencies, including creative learning and thinking, complex problem-solving interdisciplinary and international cooperation, and a code of ethics, but also challenges a change in engineering education itself. In our approach, we suggest innovative ways to develop a deeper working knowledge of technical fundamentals while simultaneously learning personal and interpersonal skills, and product, process, and system building skills. For analysis of interrelated arrangement of modules for effective acquisition of knowledge, a supportive alignment of disciplinary courses was studied and a wide range of skills required in professional areas were mapped throughout the curriculum. Moreover, we created a new learning context that provides an opportunity to implement both theoretical and practical knowledge to conceive, design, implement and operate real-world systems and products. In this approach, we developed integrated methods of gaining active learning experience that forms a basis for carrying out challenging capstone projects. As a result, our innovative approach that focuses on modification of education and research improves all aspects of comprehensive training of sustainable engineers.
