Insertion of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into higher education is an important concern. This article aims to address the influences of SDGs in higher and engineering educational system in Egypt. The present study focuses on SDGs 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 11. SDG 3 is related to occupational health and SDG 4 is related to higher education development. However, SDGs 6, 7, 9, and 11 are related to both mechanical and environmental engineering, and occupational safety. The study approach involves case risk analysis, investigations, and review for design concepts of occupational health and safety before and after the Coronavirus disease . A number of cross-sectional studies that constitute 125 multidisciplinary research plans (MDRPs) are grouped to monitor and evaluate two main factors which are an influence of involving SDGs into engineering education and selected curriculum of occupational health and safety. Then the results of these research-based studies, which performed over four academic years started from 2017 up to date 2021, are depicted and discussed. These results reveal the importance of interlink between engineering education and the intended SDGs. The latest 25 MDRPs demonstrate that Egypt response to alleviate the COVID-19 is rapidly pronounced specially on SDGs 3 and 4 simultaneously. However, those MDRPs show that neither record impacts nor delays on SDGs 6, 7, 9 and 11. The conclusions prioritize both the advanced educational mechanisms and verify the engineering curriculums to raise awareness of SDGs among both staff members and students in Egyptian universities. Finally, future work is recommended at the end of this article to focus on each specific goal to gain deep insight to state of the art for each SDG around globe using education development.

“…Simultaneously, diversification of consumption value chains through marketing of bio‐based products obtained from restored land can cultivate responsible consumer behavior. Education for SD can further play an important role in creating awareness about the negative effects of degradation among key influencers such as youth, local, and indigenous communities as well as nongovernmental organizations and initiate a culture of sustainability necessary for LR (Priyadarshini & Abhilash ).…”

Soil and land are critical common pool resources offering a multitude of ecosystem services (ES) and presently affected by degradation and unplanned exploitation. The present article therefore attempts to elucidate the importance of circular economy in boosting land restoration and realization of several sustainable development goals through efficient waste recycling and clean energy production from degraded lands combined with policy restructuring for aligning circularity with restoration. Integrative policy frameworks targeting a “sustainable restoration economy” can help improve the cost feasibility of restoration projects through circularization of resource value chains besides enhancing social welfare and ecological vitality.

“…Given that there are 17 goals in the SDGs, where almost all aspects of life are included, it is not too difficult for universities to develop programs and activities related to these goals. For example, the development of a good curriculum with a teaching and learning process and equipped with adequate facilities illustrates an effort to achieve quality education [8].…”

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have become international programs and are adopted by almost all countries in the world. All institutions at various levels and sectors in each country have developed programs to support and accelerate the achievement of the 17 goals of the SDGs, including higher education institutions. However, there are still many universities that are not fully aware of and understand this matter, even though they may carry out programs that are actually related to one or more of the goals of the SDGs. This can be seen from the limited number of universities that have SDGs Center or sustainability office. To focus more on developing programs in higher education and further increasing efforts in order to achieve these goals, educational programs for higher education institutions are needed. This effort can be made by the central government through the relevant ministries, as well as related offices at the provisional government level. In addition, there are several higher education ranking programs that have indirectly educated these higher education institutions about SDGs.
