A methodology to analyze the presence of sustainability in engineering curricula. Case of study: ten Spanish engineering degree curricula
This paper presents a methodology to analyze the sustainability presence level in the curriculum of an engineering degree. The methodology is applied to ten engineering degrees of the Spanish university system, taught in three different universities. The design used for the research is quantitative and correlational. The analytical instrument used is the Engineering Sustainability Map, which contains the learning outcomes related to sustainability that are expected of engineering students upon completion of their studies. The methodology is used to analyze the curricula of the ten engineering degrees in order to identify what learning outcomes of the Engineering Sustainability Map are developed in each degree. The results indicate that the sustainability competency least present in all the degrees is the "Participation in community processes that promotes sustainability", with an average presence of 23.3%, while the most present is the "Application of ethical principles related to the values of sustainability in personal and professional behavior ", with an average presence of 76.6%. In general, learning outcomes related to sustainability have an average presence of 52.1%, so that practically half of the cells in the ten Engineering Sustainability Maps are not developed in the degrees under study. ; Peer Reviewed ; Postprint (published version)
