本文提出了一种综合的教育方法，以提供更好的，更广泛的培训，以学生在工程学科。该方法集成了现有的和临时的工具，主要提高以下技能：整体和全面的观点，真实的问题，团队合作，沟通能力，处理先进的数值模型和科学计算。作者的经验与建议的方法的实施显示了显着增加的动机和参与的学生：更了解他们的学习过程中，更有信心和动力，他们觉得。实施的工具还有助于激发学生对多学科，综合和可持续方法的认识，以面对工程问题，促进接受与自然战略合作。这种方法是为海洋和海岸工程领域开发的，以克服即将到来的挑战，如气候变化带来的问题。然而，它可以很容易地扩展到其他工程学科也涉及到环境问题和可持续性。
This paper presents an integrated educational methodology to provide better, more extensive training to students in engineering disciplines. The methodology integrates both existing and ad hoc tools to improve mainly the following skills: holistic and comprehensive views of real problems, working in teams, communication abilities, and handling advanced numerical models and scientific computing. Experience by the authors with the implementation of the proposed methodology revealed a significant increase in the motivation and participation of the students: the more aware of the learning process they are, the more confident and motivated they feel. The implemented tools also help trigger student awareness towards a multidisciplinary, integrated and sustainable approach to face engineering problems, facilitating receptiveness toworking with naturestrategies. This methodology was developed for the field of marine and coastal engineering to overcome upcoming challenges such as problems due to climate change. Nevertheless, it can be easily extended to other engineering disciplines also pertaining to environmental problems and sustainability.
