Integrating climate change education into engineering education is essential to prepare students for an uncertain and problematic future. The waste sector is a major consumer of natural resources and emitter of greenhouse gases, which is why it is a central theme in the training of engineering students. This paper presents the main takeaways from a pilot training module based on design fiction. The module aims to develop futures thinking in engineering students by helping them to imagine waste management in different climatic and technological contexts. An analysis of the futures images based on written output shows that the training module enables students to generate different technological schemes for waste recovery, which are conceived in their social and cultural context. Students nevertheless struggle to imagine futures that are radically different from lifestyles in a consumer society. Only output imagining a future of collapse explores ways of living that depart from our current lifestyles. Articulating the temporalities of technological and climatic processes and understanding low-tech approaches appear to be two opportunities for perfecting the module.

将气候变化教育融入工程教育对于让学生为不确定和有问题的未来做好准备至关重要。废物处理行业是自然资源的主要消费者和温室气体排放者，这就是为什么它是工程专业学生培训的中心主题。本文介绍了基于设计小说的飞行员培训模块的主要收获。该课程旨在通过帮助工科学生想象不同气候和技术背景下的废物管理，培养他们的未来思维。根据书面输出对未来图像的分析表明，培训模块使学生能够根据他们的社会和文化背景生成不同的废物回收技术方案。然而，学生们仍然难以想象与消费社会的生活方式截然不同的未来。只有想象崩溃未来的输出才能探索与我们当前生活方式不同的生活方式。阐明技术和气候过程的时间性以及理解低技术含量的方法似乎是完善该模块的两个机会。
