Thegoal of this module is to help students recognize the implications their design decisions mayhave outside of their immediate community and identify ways their careers as designers couldinclude work toward addressing some of the SDGs.The lesson plan for this module first introduces the concept of globalization, including bothpositive aspects like economic growth and cultural exchange and negative aspects likeoverconsumption and exploitation. The UN SDGs are then presented as an international effort toalign countries and major organizations toward positive globalization outcomes. After a briefhistory of the development of the SDGs, students are encouraged to evaluate the
