Resumen
- This study presents the results of a teaching innovation project at theUniversity of Salamanca, in which more than 140 students from 6 undergraduate and master’s degree courses in engineering and architecture participated.The objective focuses on raising awareness and committing future generations ofengineers to sustainable development by acquiring knowledge about the broaderaspects of the UN 2030 Agenda and the importance of STEAM professions inachieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The generation of a coursein the virtual campus promoted debate sessions based on flipped classrooms in11 subjects from different areas of knowledge. The proposal allowed carryingout research works in the context of the involved subjects that related sustainabledevelopment to their contents. The exhibition of the research results allowed cooperative learning and the celebration of the World Engineering Day at the HigherPolytechnic School of Zamora. The low average score on an initial objective testshows a lack of information concerning SDG among engineering students. Thisscore improved by 3 points in the final objective test. The satisfaction surveyresults show that the experience was positive for the students and the teachingteam. Its media coverage promoted social recognition and engineering vocations.
