ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The authors wish to acknowledge and thank the project team for their contribution and enthusiastic support. A special thank you goes to the research assistants and in particular Emiko Watanabe whose unique background of having both a relevant science and humanities double degree and industry experience greatly enhanced the project outcomes. Thank you also to the external Reference Group members and our external evaluator Dr Rob Phillips. We wish to thank the graduates from the five member universities and sustainable energy industry representatives who took the time to complete the survey and or interview. We also wish to thank the industry associations who readily agreed to promote the project and distributed the survey to their members. We wish to thank the international course coordinators who responded to the survey questions sent to them. The support for the project and production of this report by the Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching is gratefully acknowledged.

This Curriculum Guide is based on a Learning and Teaching Guide template that was designed by Daniela Rota for the ECALS project and we wish to thank them for permission to also use it for this project. See

Section 1 – Introduction

T INTRODUCTION

his Sustainable Energy Curriculum Frameworks Capability Cloths Document provides the sustainable energy “capability cloths” developed to support the development of the Sustainable Energy Curriculum Frameworks.

This document is not a standalone document but is used in conjunction with the “Renewing the Sustainable Energy Curriculum – Curriculum Frameworks and Guidance for Course Delivery Curriculum Frameworks Guide” developed by the “Renewing the sustainable energy curriculum – providing internationally relevant skills for a carbon constrained economy” project. This document presents the associated “Capability Cloths” which were used to develop the sustainable energy curriculum frameworks. The explanation of how the cloths were developed and how they should be interpreted and used is presented in the “Renewing the Sustainable Energy Curriculum – Capability Cloths Supporting Document”. Note: This document should always be used in conjunction with the “Renewing the Sustainable Energy Curriculum – Capability Cloths Supporting Document” and the “Renewing the Sustainable Energy Curriculum – Curriculum Frameworks and Guidance for Course Delivery Curriculum Frameworks Guide”. All three documents are available from the project website - <http://www.murdoch.edu.au/projects/secfp/>.
