Abstract

Fostering ideas that de-couple the world's growth in population and wealth from the increase of resource consumption must be tackled through the education of engineers. Those have to understand environmental, economic and social effects. Games have the potential to make people reflect their actions and to let them try out new approaches within a safe environment.

The two-wheeler industry was taken as example because mobility is crucial element of human needs and sustainable development. The participants of this game are leading their own company.
