Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna (RMUTL) places strong emphasis on integrating sustainability and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into its academic framework across all faculties. One of the key examples is the Bachelor of Engineering in Environmental Engineering programme, which directly addresses sustainable development, environmental systems, wastewater management, and resource management. This programme equips students with the technical knowledge and problem-solving skills needed to design and implement environmentally responsible solutions that contribute to national and global sustainability goals.
RMUTL also offers specialized courses that reinforce sustainability principles in various disciplines. The course “Environment and Development” (สิ่งแวดล้อมกับการพัฒนา) focuses on the sustainable use of natural resources, environmental change, and the relationship between human development and ecological balance. Another course, “Sustainable Design,” emphasizes environmentally conscious design practices by exploring the social, energy, and regulatory dimensions of sustainability. These courses, available through lms.rmutl.ac.th, demonstrate the university’s commitment to providing students with both theoretical understanding and practical tools to address contemporary sustainability challenges.
Furthermore, RMUTL’s SDG portal highlights the institution’s strategic effort to integrate the UN SDGs into environmental and tourism education programmes, showcasing degree programmes and specialized courses directly linked to the SDGs. The university has also revised its general education curriculum to ensure that all undergraduate students are exposed to sustainability and SDG-relevant subjects. This initiative reflects RMUTL’s vision of producing graduates who are not only skilled professionals but also responsible global citizens capable of driving sustainable change across industries and communities.
