Abstract:

The need to implement sustainable development actions in university education is an objective that requires planning, facing challenges and a continuous review of the teaching offer and the way of imparting. Therefore, there is a perceived need to understand how the planning can help to be more successful in the implementation of sustainable development. Moving this need to the engineering mechanics, numerous studies describe the difficulties in promoting employability, integration and experiences with a full life cycle approach to products and systems from a sustainable point of view, which requires sustainable education, integrated and adaptable for engineering mechanics.

In recent years, research has been carried out on the implementation of new active teaching methodologies, being Project Based Learning (PBL) and Challenge Based Learning (CBL), both of those have proven to obtain good results in engineering. Therefore, the work team proposes the implementation of a continuous challenge based learning in subjects of two consecutive courses: “Processes of manufacturing in automotive technology” and “Product systems production and manufacturing”.
