Incorporating the sustainable development goals in engineering education
This paper aims to open the discussion on the incorporation of sustainable development goals (SDG) in the curricular plans of engineering programs. The United Nation has recognized the development SDG by 2030 as a priority. It should be evident that universities embrace these objectives to align with the great challenges facing education today. This is an initial discussion where it is intended to offer some research and challenge ideas to the administrators and policymakers of the universities regarding the incorporation of these objectives. As an example, some academic and research activities that are carried out in our institution to overcome these challenges are described. A logic framework to incorporate SDG in engineering education is presented and some examples of academic projects that somehow touch the SDG are mentioned and finally some recommendations of how these SDG can be explicitly incorporated into the engineering education programs and in general in the high-education institutes.
