Abstract

The integration of CBL in engineering education is gaining popularity and it has been claimed as one of the most suitable strategies for 21st century skills development and sustainability mindset. The literature indicates potentials of CBL for a quality of education centred in ecological paradigm and development of a sustainability mindset. Nevertheless, empirical studies exploring CBL potential for sustainability mindset involving academic staff are scarce, if not inexistent. This extended abstract explores academic staff beliefs and viewpoints on their role as a teacher in a CBL environment and in which ways they can be related with a sustainability mindset.
