AB This paper presents a methodology to analyze the sustainability presence level in thecurriculum of an engineering degree. The methodology is applied to ten engineering degrees of theSpanish university system, taught in three di erent universities. The design used for the researchis quantitative and correlational. The analytical instrument used is the engineering sustainabilitymap, which contains the learning outcomes related to sustainability that are expected of engineeringstudents upon completion of their studies. The methodology is used to analyze the curricula of the tenengineering degrees in order to identify what learning outcomes of the engineering sustainability mapare developed in each degree. The results indicate that the sustainability competency least present inall the degrees is the “participation in community processes that promotes sustainability,” with anaverage presence of 23.3%, while the most present is the “application of ethical principles relatedto the values of sustainability in personal and professional behavior,” with an average presence of76.6%. 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 thedegrees under study.
