Abstract:Sustainability is complex and demanding to teach
and learn in engineering. Several learning activities have been
reported in the literature to incorporate sustainability in
engineering education. This work reports an extensive literature
search about learning approaches on sustainability that use case
studies and projects. The most significant works were characterized
and analyzed to determine trends and opportunities in the
development of learning activities that can be used to incorporate
sustainability at different levels in the engineering curriculum. | |
