In order to disseminate and promotion of design education in the sustainable (DES) context in the academic and professional field, this research introduces the theoretical study of DES and a case study of 620 product design students' attitude, knowledge and viewpoint toward environmental consciousness. According to the results of the survey, the students' strong consideration of socio-cultural principles is the most important factor for solution of the present environmental issues, showing a pro-environmental consciousness that was also evident in the students' capacity as consumers since they consider environmental aspects when purchasing products. The majority of 491 students who did not receive environmental education expressed a strong desire to receive environmental information, with the primary topics related to examples of environmentally friendly products (eco-products).
