- Abstract:
<p>The integration of Prevention through Design (PtD) concept into the engineering education has evolved progressively in response to accreditation requirements. Despite the previous studies focusing on the integration of PtD principles into the curriculum, practical knowledge integration through effective teaching and learning mechanism remains elusive. The objective of this paper is to discuss the core elements of teaching and learning approach, as well as best practices in integrating the PtD concept into curricula. A systematic literature review was conducted based on 27 identified studies focusing on PtD education. The findings indicated that the current PtD educational approach incorporates five constructivist learning principles: content learning, outcomes learning environments, learning domains and pedagogical approaches. This study extends the PtD literature in the educational context, by providing insights into designing an effective curriculum for mainstreaming the PtD in engineering education.</p>
