Reducing global greenhouse gas emissions is a critical goal of our time. Despite a temporary decline during the COVID-19 pandemic, CO2 emissions are projected to increase again, potentially reaching 42.8 gigatonnes by 2050. Germany aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 80–95% by 2050, which will require sustainable practices across all industries as they contribute significantly to environmental issues through their products and processes. Engineers play a crucial role in this transition as they are responsible for developing new products, services and product-service systems. Decisions made during the product development process have a significant impact on the environmental impacts of products throughout their life cycle. It is therefore essential that engineers are equipped with the knowledge and skills required for sustainable product development. This chapter examines the integration of sustainability into the engineering education at German universities. The analysis compares data from an initial study conducted in 2018 and a current study conducted in 2023, and examines changes in degree programmes and courses related to sustainable product development at 118 German higher education institutions. By reviewing the current curricula, it aims to understand how universities have adapted to the growing need for sustainability in engineering education and the extent to which current programmes address this crucial topic.
