Abstract

In many engineering degrees courses, Physics is a fundamental pillar from which the rest of the subjects of the degree are formed. This fundamental nature is perceived by students as subjects with no connection to the degree that they aspire to achieve. Moreover, the students' level of education is very heterogeneous, especially in the firsts courses which makes it difficult to connect the subject with the world in which we live and encourages a lack of interest in them. On the other hand, time is limited in the classroom and the established teaching guide must be followed. Therefore, incorporating new training tools into the subject curriculum is not easy, as most of the time is spent on students understanding the theory and practising the problems involved in applying it. Often, the lack of practice in other subjects delays the achievement of these objectives. The concepts that are developed are mostly applicable to real life. On the other hand, it is known that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have acquired considerable importance at the present time and that training, given that in the future the labour market will demand it, must contemplate and favour the development of these goals. This work aims to bring Physics closer to society through the SDGs. To this end, a challenge is incorporated into the curriculum of the subject for each thematic block that the student must achieve.
