Interdisciplinary Digital Skills for Sustainable Construction

The main objective of SUSTAINABUILD is to develop a 5 ECTS hybrid course (WP3) focusing in detail on how
construction projects (new buildings and renovation projects) can support the achievement of the 2030 Agenda and
implement the course in the educational programmes of the partners. The course will consist of a theoretical and a
practical part. It will provide a platform for lecturers to digitally facilitate interdisciplinary and international learning
activities, thereby strengthening the interdisciplinary capabilities and awareness of sustainable solutions among students within construction engineering programmes who can participate in group work transnationally on industrial cases using digital mobility. As a foundation for the course, a thorough analysis, with input from the national reference groups will be made (WP2), resulting in a strategy for enhancing SDG integration in construction projects, including details on what the curriculum should cover, along with practical cases of SDG implementation in construction projects. Based on the strategic design framework results, new educational material will be developed for the course and tested twice among 150 students at the HEIs, along with a digital handbook (WP4) aimed towards practitioners, lecturers, and students within the construction industry which will include cases from the industry and the education material. The handbook and the other educational material will be freely accessible and available through e.g. the Erasmus Project Result Platform to all parties interested, thus enhancing lifelong learning.
