摘要

The built environment sector's contribution to global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions necessitates urgent educational reform to prepare students for Industry 5.0's human-centric, sustainable practices. This study investigates how to integrate sustainability into built environment curricula through innovative pedagogical strategies. A mixed-methods approach combining systematic literature review and comparative case study analysis of four institutions was employed. The analysis reveals six core competency domains essential for Industry 5.0 readiness: sustainability literacy, technical proficiency, systems thinking, interdisciplinary collaboration, ethical responsibility, and leadership. Problem-based learning, experiential learning, and industry partnerships emerged as effective pedagogical approaches. The study proposes a comprehensive framework for curriculum transformation that balances academic rigor with industry relevance, providing actionable guidance for educators and policymakers.
