Abstract

This research presents the development of a sustainable technical project developed by a group of 1st year baccalaureate students in the subject of technical drawing. This project is developed within the methodological framework established by UNESCO in 2017, which describes the key competences for sustainability. Through the project method applied to the teaching–learning process, students achieved subject-specific competences and five key competences for sustainability, as well as a high level of ownership of sustainability knowledge. In each of the phases, the participants used ecodesign to design an educational space that complies with the three areas of sustainability: environmental, social, and economic. To do this, they used technical tools and ICT programmes and computer aided design, which have improved their digital competence. At the end of the experience, the participants elaborated a questionnaire on the degree of appropriation of knowledge in the field of sustainability. The results show an acquisition of competence in sustainability by the students, an improvement of responsible creativity, as well as a good level of appropriation of knowledge in the field of sustainability.
