As of 1999, the School of Engineering of the National University of La Plata is including the study of Enviromental Management as part of its courses of Hydraulic and Civil Engineering and Land Surveying. Such contents were formalized intensively in a subject formerly called Ecology and later called Environmental Management, which is taught during the tenth and last semester of the courses of the Hydraulic and Civil Engineering, and during the fifth semester of Land Surveying. The subject is taught in both semesters for all the courses in the same class.\nThe implementation carried out from 1999 until now, sparked a permanent debate at the heart of the professorship in particular, and of the School in general, with diverse subject-matters, among which the following can be highlighted: \n• What is the reason for including the environmental dimension in the courses of Engineering? \n• Which is the best way of linking the contents of Environmental Management with the Project courses, and which is its best temporal location in the syllabus?\nIn short, the cores of the debate outline: The justification of including the environmental dimension in the engineering field and the temporal location of these contents so as to relate them with other subjects, basically the ones which tackle the development of Engineering projects.\nThe present article puts forward and analizes an experiment that, since 1999, has been developed in the School of Engineering of the National University of La Plata; and, on the basis of such experiment, poses conclusions and makes future proposals.
