Learning Design & ESD Bootcamp 2025
Republic Polytechnic Singapore and global teams implemented the CoDesignS ESD Framework to integrate sustainability-oriented learning outcomes and assessments into engineering and disciplinary courses.
Overview
In October 2025, a team from Republic Polytechnic in Singapore implemented the principles of the CoDesignS ESD Framework within a Statistical Methods for Engineering course. Using the CoDesignS ESD Toolkit Planner, the team systematically reviewed the course design and identified opportunities to integrate sustainability-oriented learning outcomes, activities, and assessments. The process enabled the educators to align statistical concepts with real-world sustainability challenges, fostering students' ability to apply quantitative methods to environmental, social, and economic issues. This redesign aimed to enhance both disciplinary learning and students' understanding of how statistical analysis can support informed decision-making for sustainable development.
