Abstract

Engineeringeducation is facing a challenge of the development of student engineers' socialresponsibility in the context of sustainable development. The aim of theresearch is to analyze efficiency of engineering curriculum in the context ofsustainable development underpinning elaboration of pedagogical guidelines onthe development of students' social responsibility in engineering education.The analysis involves a process of analyzing the meaning of the key conceptssustainable development and engineering curriculum. Moreover, the studydemonstrates how the key concepts are related to the idea of efficiency. Thequalitative evaluation research has been used. The present empirical researchwas conducted during the Baltic Summer School „Technical Informatics andInformation Technology” in 2009, 2010 and 2011. The sample involved 85participants. The students’ needs in Enterprise2.0 were a criterion of efficiency of engineering curriculum in the context ofsustainable development. Descriptive statistics was implemented for primarydata analysis. The findings of the research allow drawing conclusions onefficiency of engineering curriculum for the development of students' socialresponsibility in the context of sustainable development.
