This paper presents a methodology to analyze the sustainability presence level in the
curriculum of an engineering degree. The methodology is applied to ten engineering degrees of the
Spanish university system, taught in three di erent universities. The design used for the research
is quantitative and correlational. The analytical instrument used is the engineering sustainability
map, which contains the learning outcomes related to sustainability that are expected of engineering
students upon completion of their studies. The methodology is used to analyze the curricula of the ten
engineering degrees in order to identify what learning outcomes of the engineering sustainability map
are developed in each degree. The results indicate that the sustainability competency least present in
all the degrees is the “participation in community processes that promotes sustainability,” with an
average presence of 23.3%, while the most present is the “application of ethical principles related
to the values of sustainability in personal and professional behavior,” with an average presence of
76.6%. In general, learning outcomes related to sustainability have an average presence of 52.1%,
so practically half of the cells in the ten engineering sustainability maps are not developed in the
degrees under study.
