Abstract
In this article we report some practical experiences of integrating education for sustainable development into established university teaching modules. The 2021 guidance on Education for Sustainable Development from the UK’s standards bodies QAA and Advance HE is an important and urgent motivation for introducing sustainability into university courses. We take as our context a first-year introductory module in Chemical Products and Process in the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering and a second-year module in Software Engineering and Systems Development in the School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, both at Queen’s University Belfast. We outline some of the challenges of adding new themes to existing courses. We comment on ways of presenting themes of sustainable development alongside existing module content, and we indicate the type of work students produced. We identify approaches that resulted in good outcomes, and outline changes we have made with a view to improved future outcomes.
