The role of higher education institutions in laying the foundations of sustainable development is undeniable. As the principal educators of tomorrow’s leaders, such institutions can tremendously contribute to implementing and achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Many studies highlighted the significance of the students’ awareness and the level of their active engagement as crucial elements in achieving the desired results. Therefore, measuring such awareness and its effect on their daily life and behavior is fundamental in implementing the SDGs. The current study employs an online survey to explore the awareness level of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Saudi universities. SPSS will be utilized to generate the statistical results of the study. The importance of this study stems from the scarcity of research in the field, especially in Saudi higher education institutions. The current research fills in a significant gap at the national level as it provides future researchers and higher education leaders with the much-needed data to prepare strategic plans for future enhancement of the application of the SDGs. It will also propose a set of practical strategies that can be advanced to augment Saudi students’ awareness of the SDGs and their possible application in their daily lives and practices.

This study addresses the concerning disconnect between academic training in architecture and the growing need to incorporate sustainability and energy efficiency into professional practice. Given the increasing importance of energy efficiency and building certification, this disconnect has become a significant challenge. The article proposes an educational methodology that simulates the professional experience, addressing energy efficiency in an interdisciplinary manner from initial design to certification. This methodology has been implemented at various educational levels and has proven effective in equipping students with an understanding of energy efficiency concepts and their practical application. The results indicate that this innovative methodology can help bridge the gap between education and professional practice in architecture, preparing future architects to effectively address sustainability and energy efficiency in their projects and careers. Este estudio aborda la preocupante desconexión entre la formación académica en arquitectura y la creciente necesidad de integrar la sostenibilidad y la eficiencia energética en la práctica profesional. Dada la importancia cada vez mayor de la eficiencia energética y la certificación en edificios, esta desconexión se ha convertido en un desafío significativo. El artículo propone una metodología educativa que simula la experiencia profesional, abordando la eficiencia energética, de forma interdisciplinar, desde el diseño inicial hasta la certificación. Esta metodología se aplicó en varios niveles educativos y demostró ser efectiva para capacitar a los estudiantes en la comprensión de conceptos de eficiencia energética y su aplicación práctica. Los resultados indican que esta innovadora metodología puede ayudar a cerrar la brecha entre la educación y la práctica profesional en arquitectura y preparar a los futuros arquitectos para abordar la sostenibilidad y la eficiencia energética de manera efectiva en sus proyectos y carreras.
