Abstract: China requires industrial ecology (IE) skills and knowledge
to deal with the contradiction between rapid economic
growth and subsequent environmental pollution and resource
depletion. Industrial ecology education was introduced in
China in 1997 and now a few Chinese universities offer IE
courses. Wuhan University is one of them and since 1999
has committed itself to promoting IE education. The university
offers different curricula for different majors at all levels:
undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral. Between 1999 and
2004 more than 5,000 students received IE education at
Wuhan University. Although inadequate human resources and
a lack of relevant textbooks present challenges to further developing
IE education in China, as more universities pay attention
to IE, more courses will be developed. It is believed that
IE education in China will blossom in the near future.
