Integrating the principles of Sustainable Development into the curricula to ensure graduates acquire skills in this area is one of the strategic objectives of the Sustainability Commission of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto (CS-FEUP).<\/p>\n

At FEUP, this objective is accomplished through different approaches, from the provision of curricular units (UC) integrated in undergraduate and post-graduate courses, modules within a curricular unit, or even continuing education courses focusing on some aspects of sustainability. In addition, in the 1st year UC ‘FEUP Project<\/a>‘ offered to undergraduate and integrated masters students, the CS-FEUP gives a lecture with the purpose of making known the initiatives of the Commission, as well as promoting more sustainable behaviours.<\/p>\n<\/div>
