Tecnologico de Monterrey recently launched the Tec21 Educative Model to develop relevant, comprehensive, integrated competencies in students that enable them to solve present and future professional challenges creatively and strategically. A current primary focus of university education is to incorporate sustainable development goals (SDG) in the curricular plans. Our study involved the Biomimetics and Sustainability course, which aligns with the SDGs. It is a course offered to first-year students in the School of Engineering and Science. This research aimed to analyze the evaluation methodology in developing certain sub-competencies: scientific thought, understanding other codes, digital culture, systems operations in engineering and sciences, and applying sustainability principles. This study contributes evidence and findings to help implement and operationalize competency-based assessments. The investigation centered on assessing student deliverables in the course, including two primary “Evidences,“ platform interactions, exams, and assignment accomplishments. The analysis showed that the students developed a higher overall competency level for the second Evidence (93.61 ± 0.76%) versus the first one (80.22 ± 11.61%). The present article is based on the experience of using the student portfolio as a tool for evaluation in the educational technology topic. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag France SAS, part of Springer Nature.
