A new approach to include environmental education among engineering students.
Focusing on a specific area of sustainability: Solid Waste Management.
Based on a series of activities to be completed by students in different semesters of the undergraduate curricula, engineering majors.

Sustainability
Human and ecological health, social justice, secure livelihoods, and a better world for all generations.

Why Solid Waste Management?
(Mexico) Studies on waste management:U. Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM)U. Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM)U. Autónoma de Baja California (UABC)
Studies conclude: Recyclable materials represent more than
60% of the total waste generated.

Why Engineering Students?
Sustainability as a basic competence for engineers.
80% product-related environmental effects: determined during product design phase, job of engineers.
![Page 6: Engaging Students in an Integrated Solid Waste Management Program at a Higher Education Institution Presenter: Daniela Sanguino Authors: Mariana Ruiz Adriana.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649da25503460f94a8ed1d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why this approach?
“Sustainable development should be integrated in the engineering
courses contents, rather than teaching it as a separate course.”
It’s a Win-Win situation
![Page 7: Engaging Students in an Integrated Solid Waste Management Program at a Higher Education Institution Presenter: Daniela Sanguino Authors: Mariana Ruiz Adriana.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649da25503460f94a8ed1d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Main barriers:Abstract or too broad topicLack of synergy among sciences
( because of curricula design)
Students should be immersed in focused and regionalized sustainability projects in order to promote a meaningful and results-oriented experience.
![Page 8: Engaging Students in an Integrated Solid Waste Management Program at a Higher Education Institution Presenter: Daniela Sanguino Authors: Mariana Ruiz Adriana.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649da25503460f94a8ed1d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Major Advantage of the Approach:
a) Doesn’t end up as a collection of independent environmental
experiences.
b) Contributes from different perspectives and with diverse engineering techniques, to the
solution of a single sustainability issue.

SUGGESTIONS
Chose a case study that reflects the student’s reality and daily life.
Consider the engineering aspects of the case.
Think green.Join forces.Be time and effort realistic Plan project objectives and
grading criteria.

CONCLUSIONS
We need to find new educational
strategies oriented to sustainability and environmental awareness.
Include courses (or experiences) related to sustainability in engineering curricula.
