This research paper explores eco-centric approaches to undergraduate engineering education in India, with a particular emphasis on experiential learning as a means to promote a sustainable future. It delves into the importance of integrating ecological principles into the engineering curriculum, advocating for a holistic perspective that encompasses environmental, social, and economic aspects. The study investigates how experiential learning methods, such as hands-on projects and fieldwork, can instill a deeper ecological consciousness in engineering students. By combining theoretical knowledge with practical, real-world experiences, this research aims to inspire a new generation of environmentally responsible engineers capable of addressing pressing sustainability challenges in India and beyond
