KTH has had, for more than 10 years, institution-wide objectives and approaches for integrating sustainable development in engineering education. Gender perspectives must be integrated into all study and research programs at KTH [1], and equality is highlighted as an integral part of sustainable development in KTH’s new sustainability objectives for education. Engineering programs at KTH have made substantial progress in integrating environmental aspects into the curriculum, but the integration of social sustainability aspects is generally considered to be more challenging, especially gender equality and diversity issues [2].

This presentation provides case studies about how to integrate elements of gender equality, diversity, and equal conditions (GDE) in two courses on the master’s level [3], [4]. The focus is on demonstrating successful examples of how teachers from engineering disciplines have created and implemented a GDE module specifically tailored for technical master programs.
