Summary:Creating a generation with knowledge, abilities, and skills to meet the challenges of economic, environmental, and social sustainability is very important. In the context of the education of sustainable manufacturing, curricula should be directly related to sustainable manufacturing and its requirements. However, Iraqi colleges continue to suffer from the lack of sustainable manufacturing education in their curricula. Therefore, this study aims to explore the education of sustainable manufacturing for seven colleges in Baghdad, Iraq. Besides, this study used a qualitative method. The results of the study are indicated to a weak level, which is almost non-existent to sustainable manufacturing education into the curricula of these colleges.
