Purpose Considering the requirements of sustainable development regarding professionals training and the challenges evidenced during Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, this study aims to contribute to the debates regarding the need to insert sustainability into engineering education in the current context Design/methodology/approach For this, the literature about sustainability in engineering education was considered, and the need for sustainability insertion in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic was debated It is important to emphasize that this debate was based on the authors' experience regarding sustainability research and teaching Findings The current moment unveiled companies' financial management problems, constantly evidenced by media In this sense, the interest of engineering students in business management may lead them to believe that companies' survival depends only on financial aspects, neglecting environmental and social aspects This study is characterized as a reminder to academic staff in the field of engineering to continue valuing the principles of sustainable development with their students during the COVID-19 pandemic Originality/value The need to make engineering students understand the importance of social projects in the current period is emphasized The training of professionals to consider all the sustainability aspects even during crisis moments is evidenced now and should be used as a learning lesson for the future

COVID-19大流行和培训工程师以适应可持续发展目标的需求不断增长

目的考虑到可持续发展对专业人员培训的要求以及在冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间证明的挑战，本研究旨在为有关在当前背景下将可持续性纳入工程教育的需求的辩论做出贡献设计/方法论/方法为此，考虑了有关工程教育中的可持续性的文献，并讨论了在COVID-19大流行情况下是否需要插入可持续性。必须强调的是，这场辩论是基于作者在可持续性研究和教学方面的经验调查结果目前，揭露了公司的财务管理问题，并不断被媒体证明。工科学生对企业管理的兴趣可能使他们相信，公司的生存仅取决于财务方面，而忽略了环境和社会方面。这项研究旨在提醒工程学领域的学术人员继续重视可持续性原则强调COVID-19大流行期间学生的发展原创性/价值强调需要使工程专业的学生了解当前时期社会项目的重要性现已证明，对专业人员进行培训以考虑所有可持续发展方面，即使在危机时刻也应如此用作未来的学习课程忽略环境和社会方面的影响本研究的目的是提醒工程领域的学术人员在COVID-19大流行期间继续与他们的学生一起评估可持续发展的原则原创性/价值需要使工程专业的学生了解以下方面的重要性强调当前阶段的社会项目现在已经证明了对专业人员进行培训以考虑所有可持续性方面的内容，即使在危机时刻也是如此，并且应该将其用作未来的学习课程忽略环境和社会方面的影响本研究的目的是提醒工程领域的学术人员在COVID-19大流行期间继续与他们的学生一起评估可持续发展的原则原创性/价值需要使工程专业的学生了解以下方面的重要性强调当前阶段的社会项目现在已经证明了对专业人员进行培训以考虑所有可持续性方面的内容，即使在危机时刻也是如此，并且应该将其用作未来的学习课程专业人士即使在危机时刻也考虑所有可持续性方面，现已得到证明，应将其用作未来的学习课程专业人士即使在危机时刻也考虑所有可持续性方面，现已得到证明，应将其用作未来的学习课程
