Education for Sustainable Development: from the History of Bauman State Technical University

Abstract

The article investigates the history of formation and development of environmental education in Bauman Moscow State Technical University. Using the problem chronological method of study, the authors consistently analyze the contribution of teachers in the process of forming a modern attitude to environmental engineering specialties. There is a close relationship between the activities of the university in this direction and the stages of the scientific and technical revolution. The authors conclude that the University's experience in training professionals in the field of ecology is coordinated with the modern tasks formulated by the UN regarding the renewal of education for the transition of mankind to sustainable development. The university makes a significant contribution to the solution of this problem, primarily because a modern graduate should be able to deal with complex problems of interaction between man and the technosphere.
