Description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory:

As part of the National Initiative to participate with 10 Campuses using STARS, we implemented a process to analize and measure the current state of sustainability for all the institution's course offer and establish an inclusion strategy for current SDGs Challenges.

  1. Initial process:  TEC's team applying STARS started an initial exploration in the university's currente academic offer, specifically looking for sections related to sustainability, or environmental studies. 
  2. Academic departments and Ruta Azul: With the help of the Education axis of Ruta Azul and the academic departments of all Campuses, we documented official databases with current course offers and the possible focus on sustainability or related areas were documented using these databases.

  3. Python Code: We use a Python code to classify our Courses using Sustainability Keywords for all SDG goals. Selection of 324 most significant sustainability keywords (by SDG) and general.
  4. SDG Review: after all the information was documented and analyzed, a final review was developed by the STARS Team at Tec, following the credit methodology criteria and using a similar algorythm used in the course offering mapping, using key words filtering explicitly related research to sustainability topics and SDG Challages, eg. "climate change, adaptation, ecotechonologies, circular economy, circular water managment, etc".
