An international survey of 33 academic experts reveals Green and Sustainable Software Engineering (GSSE) concepts are largely under-represented in higher education curricula despite their growing industrial importance. The study identifies challenges such as lack of awareness and teaching materials, while proposing actionable recommendations for curriculum integration and pedagogical approaches.
Key insights
- Green and Sustainable Software Engineering (GSSE) topics are largely under-represented in higher education curricula, with a primary focus on energy efficiency when taught.
- GSSE research and education are driven predominantly by younger academics, but most experts have not taught dedicated sustainability courses or modules.
- Key barriers to GSSE integration in curricula include a lack of awareness among educators, insufficient teaching materials, high development effort for new courses, and institutional constraints.
