Key Points

To identify teaching practices for integrating sustainability into engineering education and establish a causal prioritization model for industrial engineering curricula.
Identified prominent sustainability teaching practices through a literature review.
Surveyed and interviewed industrial engineering course coordinators regarding practice implementation.
Evaluated causal relationships and integration levels among practices using Fuzzy Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and content analysis.
Transversal practices tied to methodological approaches demonstrated the highest prominence and causal influence on curriculum integration.
The top prioritized practices in the model were encouraging sustainability competencies, transdisciplinary sustainable actions, and practical initiatives.
A strategic map was constructed to guide academic coordinators in systematically embedding sustainability into course pedagogy.
