Abstract

Green skills are the knowledge, skills, abilities, values, and attitudes needed to develop and support efforts to reduce the impact of human activities on the environment for the realization of social, economic and survival. This study aims to identify green skills especially for electrical engineering students and why this is important. In this study literature studies were conducted with documents and articles sought in electronic databases such as Academia, Elsevier, Emeraldinsight, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and ScienceDirect. The findings from the results of this literature study reveal that the importance of green skills for electrical engineering is inseparable because the demand for labor in the renewable energy sector reached 10.35 million in 2017, up 5.3% from the previous year and predicted to continue to rise in the following years. The ability such as renewable energy skill and energy efficiency skill are some of the green skills that are suitable for electrical engineering students. To developing green skills, require effort such as developing a curriculum that is oriented towards environmental sustainability and with the integration of environmental sustainability content through problem-based learning. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
