Goal
This Micromodule introduces sustainability as a wicked problem and highlights the importance of Perspective Taking, Systems Thinking, and Negotiation in engineering.
By the end of the module participants will be able to:
- Understand the wicked nature of sustainability and recognize the complexity of balancing environmental, social, and economic dimensions in engineering decisions.
- Apply transversal skills — Perspective Taking, Systems Thinking, and Negotiation — to analyze and solve complex sustainability challenges in engineering contexts.
- Evaluate material and design choices considering environmental impacts, societal wellbeing, and ethical responsibilities to promote sustainable engineering practices.
- Reflect on the broader responsibilities of engineers in creating solutions that are socially responsible, environmentally sound, and technically effective.

What is this about?
This Micromodule introduces sustainability as a wicked problem and highlights the importance of Perspective Taking, Systems Thinking, and Negotiation in engineering. Through interactive exercises, participants will evaluate environmental and social impacts, make informed material and design choices, and reflect on engineers’ broader responsibilities in creating sustainable solutions.
1
Sustainability as a wicked problem
The purpose of this exercise is to facilitate an understanding of sustainability as a wicked problem. At the end of the video, some questions will help you reflect on what you have seen.
2
Explore: Skills for Sustainable Problem-Solving.
After reading the text below, complete each blank by selecting the most appropriate word from the list provided. This activity is designed to help you reflect on how these skills contribute to addressing complex sustainability challenges and improving problem-solving in engineering contexts.
3
Adopt perspective, think systematically, negotiate, be fair.
This final exercise helps you reflect on the role of engineers in promoting sustainability. Read each statement carefully and select True (T) or False (F). Consider environmental, social, and ethical impacts as well as the transversal skills—Perspective Taking, Systems Thinking, and Negotiation—you explored in previous activities. This activity reinforces your understanding of sustainable decision-making in engineering.
