SUSTAINABILITY IN THE CURRICULUM: AN EXPERIENCE REPORT IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

Abstract

The article presents a report of experience on the application of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in the Sustainability course of the Civil Engineering program at the Federal Institute of Piauí (IFPI). With the growing environmental concern and the need for sustainable practices, training qualified professionals becomes essential, supported by public policies such as the National Policy on Environmental Education. The study analyzes how PBL was implemented, engaging students in practical activities that integrated theory and practice, promoting the development of sustainable proposals. The methodology included the instructor's observations of student performance, who demonstrated strong engagement and innovation by presenting solutions such as water reuse and solar energy. In the end, all students achieved the highest grades, highlighting the effectiveness of active methodology in promoting meaningful and practical learning, preparing them for the challenges of the job market in an increasingly demanding context regarding sustainability.
