| Resumo: | This chapter outlines the process and tools developed in the EDINSOST projects to incorporate sustainability competences into Engineering degree curricula and competence building of faculty. It introduces the sustainability competency map for engineering degrees, defining learning outcomes essential for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) across all disciplines. The chapter details the survey of teaching staff and the methodology for constructing an ESD presence map within a degree, providing a nuanced understanding of the integration of sustainability principles. The ESD presence map serves as a crucial assessment tool, gauging the degree to which the sustainability map's learning outcomes are embedded in a specific curriculum. Additionally, the chapter presents outcomes from a student survey, elucidating student perceptions of achieving sustainability map-learning outcomes. Successfully tested across diverse degrees, the methodologies and tools have garnered endorsement from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya-BarcelonaTech. This institution has adopted the EDINSOST model, solidifying its commitment to systematically introduce ESD across all bachelor degree programs. |
