- © 2020 Association for Computing Machinery.This paper presents a case study on integrating sustainable development (SD) into a Bachelor¿s degree curriculum. The research is being conducted at Tecnologico de Monterrey (TEC), Mexico, where the lead author is Professor. TEC is one of the world¿s largest universities, with 26 campuses nationwide and more than 91,000 students. A case study was developed to investigate curriculum interventions, utilizing surveys to students to gather data on their responses to the development of sustainability competencies, an approach that promotes higher order skills in the students. Responses are explored through comparing the semesters in which Sustainability contents and assessment criteria were added to the curriculum. The results reveal that the students recognized significant advances in their recognition and development of sustainability competencies as a result of these interventions. An Online Space has been created as part of the project in order to develop an incremental learning on SD, to share the results for the current study with the community of practice (professors and students) and to establish the means for continuing to disseminate and debate pedagogical developments within the field of SD. The paper concludes by proposing that the findings of the study indicate that this pedagogical approach has the potential to contribute significantly to sustainable development education (SDE).
