Abstract

Context: Sustainability and sustainable development are emerging trends all around the world. The need for changes is evident and immediate. Problem: In order to address all the technical and social sustainability challenges people need to be educated. So far computer science and software engineering education has not fully answered to this need. Contribution: This paper presents one sustainability-focused ICT programme and analyses its evolution in order to find out the lessons learned after three cohorts of graduated students. This analysis is based on an evaluation model built based on literature. Results: The outcome of the analysis shows that understanding of the sustainability and thus the ways to increase the impact increases year by year. Although the evolution is quite evident and follows the general research trends the better impact and better readiness can be achieved through increased understanding.
