Sustainability is a topic that is increasingly debated among citizens, academic environments, government institutions and world forums. Design for Sustainability, although discussed a few decades ago, does not appear to be part of requirements in design education. This happens, because, the question is up to only a few teachers to discuss; depends on the student s interests; or even the teaching focuses only on environmental aspects. Thus, this research seeks to evaluate the insertion of Design for Sustainability in undergraduate courses in Design, in order to discuss possible improvements in teaching and student learning. The dissertation begins with an overview of Design for Sustainability approaches, which are currently discussed in articles, congresses and in the academic environments itself. With this, it can be seen that there is a certain evolution in the scope of Design fields, moving from the focus only on materials to complex integrated systems. Still, there is an observation of the current Design for Sustainability scenario in undergraduate courses of Design, with an analysis of the National Curriculum Guidelines, teaching and practice of design in classrooms; and an evaluation of the current context of Design for Sustainability in universities, through the investigation of the disciplines that address the topic. Finally, interviews were made with teachers and questionaires with students, in order to discover possible relationships between the teaching and learning in the view of these two classes. With this, it was found that the teaching of sustainability in Design depends on teachers interested in disseminating the theme, along with students willing to debate it; that there is still little discussion about the theme in some universities; that only theory does not encourage students to use the approaches in projects.
