    El Decenio de las Naciones Unidas de la Educación para el Desarrollo Sostenible, UN/DEDS 2005-2014, está llegando a su fin. La década se inició con amplitud internacional, con el objetivo de proporcionar una orientación general para difundir el concepto y fundamentos del desarrollo sostenible. El artículo presenta una revisión bibliográfica en revistas y actas de congresos de la Educación en Ingeniería en los últimos 15 años, observando la introducción de cuestiones de sostenibilidad en los cursos de ingeniería, en particular de la Ingeniería de Organización. El estudio revela un creciente número de publicaciones en el campo, pero, un número muy pequeño se refiere a DEDS, lo que puede indicar que este programa no fue globalmente reconocido y desarrollado.Palabras clave: Educación para el Desarrollo Sostenible, Desarrollo Sostenible, Educación en Ingeniería, Ingeniería Industrial.

    The United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, UN/DESD 2005-2014, is reaching its term. The decade was launched with an international footage with the main objective of providing general guidelines that could be readily adapted to a broad audience and diverse learning contexts, so as to further disseminate the concept and rationale of Sustainable Development. Following a bibliographical and documentary review of key journals and conference proceedings, akin to the field of Engineering Education, we present some key figures and trends regarding the introduction of sustainability aspects into engineering degrees within the last 15 years, and review key dissimilarities among the distinct approaches identified. The study reveals a growing number of publications in the field, but a rather small number related to Industrial Engineering Education. Another result relates to the fact that the review rarely found papers that make a reference to the UN/DESD, which surprisingly seems to indicate a poor awareness of such global program.Keywords: Education for Sustainable Development, Sustainable Development, Engineering Education, Industrial Engineering.
