Abstract:

Universities are already involved in the fulfillment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Universitat Politècnica de València, one of them, is aware of its responsibility to instill sustainable values in its students, both in education and in research, development, innovation, and knowledge transfer.

In this sense, the SDGs are being gradually implemented in the different undergraduate and graduate courses that are taken. In many subjects, tasks are carried out in which some SDGs are worked on indirectly. However, students are not aware of this.

With this work, we intend to reflect on the SDGs that are worked on in our subjects, or those that we could work on, with activities that we have already developed, so that students reach a high degree of satisfaction and awareness of the SDGs. These selected activities already work on transversal competencies, so it does not involve an increase in student activities.

To do this, we have surveyed students from different engineering subjects to find out their perception of the SDGs that they are working on indirectly in their subjects.
