This article proposes a curricular engineering approach to the identification of competency modules with a view to their integration into university and secondary vocational training. The curricular theory based on the choice of a recommended curriculum and a possible curriculum dictated by the axiological and epistemological dimensions served as a framework for this research. Methodologically, a corpus of environmental skills modules was analysed and their potential for integration into existing VET curricula was examined. As a result, a set of three modules respecting the conditions of transversality was identified and proposed for integration into vocational and university training in the field of industry within the framework of a didactic programme to be carried out.
Author Keywords: curriculum, cross-disciplinary skills, cross-disciplinary integration, environment.

Abstract
This article proposes a curricular engineering approach to the identification of competency modules with a view to their integration into university and secondary vocational training. The curricular theory based on the choice of a recommended curriculum and a possible curriculum dictated by the axiological and epistemological dimensions served as a framework for this research. Methodologically, a corpus of environmental skills modules was analysed and their potential for integration into existing VET curricula was examined. As a result, a set of three modules respecting the conditions of transversality was identified and proposed for integration into vocational and university training in the field of industry within the framework of a didactic programme to be carried out.
Author Keywords: curriculum, cross-disciplinary skills, cross-disciplinary integration, environment.
