  We developed a pilot course focused on mathematical modeling within the
tertiary education framework, with a distinct emphasis on sustainability and
sustainable development. While an applicable textbook exists for this liberal
arts course, it is noticeable that numerous examples within it are not directly
aligned with sustainability concerns. To address this gap, our study
strategically integrated the teaching and learning of modeling by carefully
selecting classroom examples that closely align with the context of
sustainability. By employing an innovative and adaptable approach to the course
content delivery, we fostered interdisciplinary collaboration among students,
improved their comprehension, and enhanced their interdisciplinary skills.
