When it comes to the perception of all aspects of sustainability, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) worldwide are responsible for preparing students, changing their attitudes, and encouraging them to think about future generations. In this sense, the main objective of this study is to analyze how sustainability has been inserted into undergraduate design courses offered by Brazilian HEIs. For the purposes of this study, 30 pedagogic projects of the aforementioned courses were analyzed through a content analysis technique. The results demonstrated that the analyzed design undergraduate courses are still in the early stages of considering guidelines that take sustainability into account. The most critical point is the small number of laboratories and research groups dedicated to this subject, as well as the small number of academic events and extension programs associated with this subject. The discussions presented here can greatly contribute to and enhance the debate about improvements in design courses in the context of sustainability.

当谈到可持续性的各个方面时，全球的高等教育机构（HEI）负责培养学生，改变他们的态度并鼓励他们思考后代。从这个意义上讲，本研究的主要目的是分析如何将可持续性插入巴西高校提供的本科设计课程中。为了本研究的目的，通过内容分析技术分析了上述课程的30个教学项目。结果表明，所分析的设计本科课程仍处于考虑可持续性准则的早期阶段。最为关键的一点是专门研究该主题的实验室和研究小组很少，以及与此主题相关的少量学术活动和推广计划。这里介绍的讨论可以极大地促进和增强关于在可持续性背景下改进设计课程的辩论。
