The International Islamic University Malaysia embarked on the initiative to incorporate the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in its curriculum in 2018 with the aim of concretizing its vision and mission statements. The main objective of this study is to examine the integration of SDGs in the curriculum of the Kulliyah (Faculty) of Engineering. Based on 9 Engineering programmes offered by the Kulliyyah (Faculty), students are required to register for 57 to 61 courses or 134 to 139 credits in order to graduate. All 9 Engineering programmes have incorporated 330 contents related to the 17 SDGs. The findings of the study indicate that BEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering Programme has the most number of SDGs contents with 55 occurrences of 39%, followed by BEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering Programme with 51 (36%) and BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering Programme with 49.occurance or 13%. As far as specific SDGs are concerned, a total of 116 (35.1%) of the 330 SDGs activities are associated with SDG 9 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, followed SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities (59 occurrences or 17.9%), and SDG 12 Responsible Consumption and Production (39 occurrences or 11.8%).
