Multi-management website for the administration of sustainable development plans in a Higher Education Institution

Abstract

Global environmental, social and economic problems make the participation of engineers essential to present innovative technological solutions to the needs that afflict humanity. The social responsibility of engineers must be inculcated from the classroom as part of their comprehensive training, instilling in future professionals the understanding of the problems they will have to face as leaders in the development and application of technology, from a sustainable point of view. This work presents the implementation of a multi-management website that allows the dissemination and promotion of sustainable development activities carried out in the various academic areas of a Higher Education Institution. The platform makes it possible to make visible and promote, in addition to the traditional programs of recycling, reuse and reduction of solid waste, the development of student technological projects that contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the 2030 agenda. The website was developed through a Content Management System, using the Scrum design methodology. Project provides the opportunity to have a central site to manage the active participation of engineering students in actions related to sustainable development, empowers the centralized collection of evidence for purposes of accreditation of study programs and enables multi-management of content, smoothed by editing from the user interface, without the need for those in charge of each academic area to have technical programming knowledge.
