Abstract

Postoje mnogo različitih definicija održivog razvoja koje je moguće tumačiti na različite načine. Ipak, svakoj je definiciji zajednički termin ravnoteža koji upućuje na “zadovoljavanje potreba sadašnje generacije, bez ugrožavanja mogućnosti budućih generacija da zadovolje svoje potrebe”. Termin održivog razvoja ušao je u opću terminologiju 80-tih godina 20 st., a definitivno je prihvaćen na konferenciji u Rio de Janeiru 1992. godine. Održivi razvoj temelji se na razumijevanju njegove tri temeljne sastavnice: društva, okoliša i gospodarstva.
Ovaj rad obrađuje pitanje održivog razvoja u inženjerskom obrazovanju. Cilj rada je: (1) Procijeniti razinu znanja i razumijevanje studenata o održivom razvoju (2) Identificirati utječu li i kako različite varijable na razinu znanja (3) Saznati jesu li studenti zainteresirani za održivi razvoj i smatraju li ga relevantnim za inženjersko obrazovanje. Rezultati su dobiveni provođenjem ankete na Fakultetu strojarstva i brodogradnje o nekoliko aspekata teme održivog razvoja. Rezultati upućuju na to da razina znanja studenata nije velika. Posebno je nedovoljno njihovo poznavanje zakonodavstva relevantnog za održivi razvoj. Ohrabrujući je podatak da studenti smatraju održivi razvoj važnim, kako za njih osobno, tako i na profesionalnoj razini.

Abstract (english)

There are many definitions of sustainable development that can be interpreted in different ways
depending on the perspective. Yet, each definition has a common term balance that refers to
“meeting the needs of the present generation, without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs”. The term sustainable development entered the general
terminology of the 1980s and was definitely accepted at the 1992 conference in Rio de Janeiro.
Sustainable development is based on an understanding of its three fundamental components:
society, the environment and the economy.
This paper deals with the issue of sustainable development in engineering education. The aim
of the paper is: (1) To assess the level of knowledge and understanding of students about
sustainable development (2) To identify whether and how different variables affect the level of
knowledge (3) To find out whether students are interested in sustainable development and
consider it relevant to engineering education. The results were obtained by conducting surveys
at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture on several aspects of the topic
of sustainable development. The results indicate that the level of knowledge of students is not
high. In particular, their knowledge of legislation relevant to sustainable development is
insufficient. It is encouraging that students consider sustainable development important, both
for them personally and professionally.
