approach to sustainability in engineering curricula is evident in the findings ofAzapagic et al. (2005), who, through an international survey, exposed the gap in sustainabilityknowledge among engineering students. This gap underscores the imperative for curriculumdevelopment that not only educates but also empowers students to apply sustainability principlesin their professional practices. Adopting effective pedagogical approaches is paramount to instilling a deep understanding ofsustainability among engineering students. Segalàs et al. (2010) provide valuable insights into howdifferent teaching strategies affect students' learning outcomes in sustainability courses.
