Resumen
This dissertation has the general objective of developing a framework and guidelines for the
training of engineers in the Legal Amazon from innovation and sustainability practices,
integrating with the applicability of the objectives for sustainable development. For this work
in the research process a mixed methods approach was adopted. For the qualitative stage,
through a Systematic Literature Review - SLR on the subject of engineers, innovation and
sustainability in the period from February 28, 2013, to February 28, 2023, in the Web of Science
database. In the second phase, classified as quantitative, a survey instrument was developed
based on the main evidence from the SRL and the literature, with the participation of 10 experts
and the help of the Fuzzy Delphi method, both for validation. After this stage was concluded,
the electronic instrument in Google forms was sent in the period from November 2022 to
February 2023 to engineering students from public institutions in the legal eastern Amazon,
who had 80% of the course completed and graduates. The main results of the research consist
of the following evidence: from RSL, as for the authors Chen et al; Mihelcic et al and
Fairbrother et al have their works among the most cited, the main countries are China, England
and USA, prominent journals Sustainability (Switzerland), Sustainable production and
consuption (Netherlands) and journal of cleaner production (UK), and as thematic areas, which
helped in the development of the instrument were: education, innovation and sustainability; as
for the validation and application of the fuzzy method, we obtained 38 validated variables, of
these 15 of general aspects (innovation, sustainability and sustainable recovery), 6 of
applicability in the university/course and 17 of the SDGs; as for the survey research we
highlight: 58% are male and 42% female, with an average age of 24 years, 72% that have the
8th semester, 28% graduates. As for the practices, it stands out with higher average degree of
agreement formation of partnerships and fostering creativity and innovation, the study of
sustainability helps to understand the environmental, social and economic challenges and
importance of training for sustainability and innovation, the interaction between university and
local community and new research can contribute to the recovery of sustainability and the SDGs
drinking water and sanitation along with decent work and economic growth. It is noted that an
adaptation of academic curricula is necessary, seeking to focus on projects that promote
participation and the creation of trends aimed at social problems and the current demands of
society.
