With regard to the method, was performed a case study for which they were selected Environmental Engineering Academic course. The instrument used was a questionnaire consisting of four items. The sample comprised 39.2% of male participants and 60.8% female, the mean age was 23.5 years, the motivation for the choice of the course was predominantly related to interest and vocation and areas of intended action were related to water resources, water treatment and / or waste and environmental preservation and recovery of degraded areas. The economic classification showed that prevail students of economy class B (62.4%). The specific questions showed that 95.2% of respondents said they were involved in the preservation of the environment and 32% have already developed or developing work in environmental education.
