“…Focusing on sustainability, the skills required to address today's industry needs are envisioning, critical thinking and reflection, systemic thinking, collaboration and decision-making in uncertain and paradoxical conditions [2][3][4][5]. To address this challenge, a toolkit ( Figure 1) was developed to engage students (in higher education) and trainees (in professional courses) to learn more actively about eco-efficiency and sustainable manufacturing [6]. The toolkit aims to simplify and gamify sustainability concepts.…”

Sustainability is a critical topic and needs to be systematically integrated in engineering education and professional training courses in manufacturing organisations. Eco-efficiency is a key sustainability concept but it can be challenging to teach as it is highly practical and thus ill-fitted for purely classroom environments. Games and simulations provide a good mechanism for effective and engaging teaching on such practical topics. This paper describes a case study of four game sessions ran in a manufacturing company. This empirical research shows how the card game 'One thousand kWh' enabled participants to actively learn about energy efficiency in manufacturing operations, and to explore sustainable manufacturing practices and barriers to implementation.

“…The toolkit aims to simplify and gamify sustainability concepts. This eco-efficiency toolkit is composed of five activities (or "elements"): (1) see waste, (2) find solutions, (3) set targets, (4) assess yourself, and (5) create good habits [6]. One notable tool in this eco-efficiency toolkit is the card game 'One thousand kWh'.…”
