This study delved into the efficacy of project-based learning and technology integration in cultivating student satisfaction and engagement within a sustainability course. By employing a mixed-methods approach, involving both quantitative and qualitative data from 200 business students, this research examined the impact of these innovative pedagogical strategies. The findings unveiled that these methods not only augmented students' learning experiences but also significantly fostered a profound comprehension of corporate social responsibility. Students reported increased motivation, critical thinking skills, and collaboration abilities as a result of their involvement in real-world projects. Furthermore, the integration of technology facilitated access to diverse information and resources, thereby enriching the learning process. These results align with the assertion by Bonnett (2008) that project-based learning can be instrumental in developing students’ higher-order thinking skills and fostering a sense of civic responsibility. This study contributes to the growing body of research advocating for experiential and technology-enhanced learning as effective approaches to sustainability education.
