Resumo
Um dos maiores desafios para a sociedade contemporânea, diz respeito aos caminhos que conduzem à evolução sustentável (ES), ou seja, ao processo evolutivo da biosfera, assim como, da sociedade humana. Para isso, é necessário a formação de profissionais com sólidas competências, consciência ética e moral, capazes de interagir com as demais áreas do conhecimento, agregando valores às dimensões econômica, sócio-cultural e ambiental, a fim de garantir a ES. Visando atender a esta demanda, institui-se no Brasil, na década de 1990, cursos de graduação em engenharia ambiental, com o objetivo de formar profissionais aptos à atuar em áreas específicas e complementares ao meio ambiente. Neste contexto, o estudo teve como objetivo descrever a (in)coerência entre consciência e ações ambientais sutentáveis dos alunos do curso de engenharia ambiental da Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP) campus de Presidente Prudente. Foi realizada também a verificação e avaliação evolutiva da conscientização e das práticas ambientais corretas desses alunos, utilizando procedimentos técnicos da pesquisa survey. Constatou-se que já uma pequena evolução tanto da consciência, quanto das práticas ambientais sustentáveis ao longo do curso de engenharia ambiental. No entanto, verificou-se a existência de paradoxo entre a teoria e a prática relacionada ao meio ambiente no cotidiano destes alunos
One of the greatest challenges to bem faceb by contemporary society is related to the paths that lead to a substainable evolution (SE), in other words, to the process of biosphere evolution, as well the human society evolution. To find thhis path, it is necessary professional training to develop solid competencies, ethical and moral consciusness, capacity to interact with other areas of knowledge, adding values to the economic, social-cultural and environmental dimensions, in order to guarantee the SE. In the 1990's, undergraduate courses in environmental enginerring were instituted in Brazil with the purpose to meet the demand, by forming professionals capable to act in environment's specific and complementary areas. Within this context, the study had as objective to describle the (in)coherence between the consciousness and the environmental actions of Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP) campus of Presidente Prudente's students. It was also accomplished the verification and evolutionary evaluation of the understanding and of student's correct envivonmental practices, using technical procedures of the research called survey. It was verified that there is a small change in consciousness and in the sustainable environmental practices during the undersgraduate course in environmental engineering. However, it was verified a paradox existence between the theory and the students' daily practices related to the environment
