Research protocol: What is the perception and knowledge that university students of engineering degrees have about Sustainable Development Goals (SFGs)?

Abstract

[EN] The main objective of the work presented in this communication is to present a research protocol. The practical application of the proposed protocol, will allow to know the perception and degree of knowledge that students of several Engineering Degrees in a specific University have regarding sustainability in general, and more specifically, about the Sustainable Development Goals (SGD) declared by the United Nations (UN). Once this perception and degree of knowledge is known, appropriate decisions and actions can be taken to improve the teaching-learning process in relation to it. In this way, knowing that starting point, it will be possible to increase the awareness and degree of knowledge of the students regarding the SDGs, designing and implementing different activities that, in a fully integrated way with the contents of a subject, can promote the sensitivity of the students towards the achievement of the SDG targets. This will enhance the focus of future graduates towards achieving the objectives through their work performance. Although the protocol is presented focused on a public higher education organization, and a specific degree and subject, this protocol can be applied without requiring too many adaptations, to any subject and degree.
