Including the united nations sustainable development goals in teaching in engineering: A practical approach

Abstract

Changes carried out by the European Higher Education Area have allowed to design and develop new learning methodologies that focus on students as an active part of the education process. This allows to develop not only technical skills, but also the so-called soft skills. In addition, sustainability has become a key issue in recent years, being Education an important part of it. In this context, a novel educational project, Formula Student Bizkaia, has been proposed as an innovative way to address education in engineering that combines both student-centred learning and sustainability. In this work, the project structure, its motivation and foundations, and its alignment with the UN 2030 Sustainable Development agenda is detailed.
