housing, second, to intend jointly different solution alternatives and third to design and to
materialize an action of improvement in front of that proposed by the World Organization

responsibility that you/they have in front of the change of taking a healthy and sure life
which begins with the leadership that has each one of them in their family and their
community.
In a same way the course of Family Environmental Promoters became a space of dialogue
of learning different to the traditional class classroom, allowing to the students besides
applying knowledge characteristic of its professional formation in engineering, to carry
out critical and reflexive readings of the reality, to acquire bigger social sensibility, to be
civic and active professionals and also to develop social and talkative abilities, vital in the
interaction with the other ones. Educational projects as the course in mention, are novel
initiatives that articulate the interests and necessities of the vulnerable communities with
investigation strategies, teaching-learning and social projection of the academy and the
half education whose bets should be to generate and to address knowledge and actions
toward principles of quality, and very common, it stops this way to achieve a positive
impact and to impact significantly in the student's professional formation, in the critical
and reflexive processes of people and in the improvement of quality of life of the less
favored communities.
Finally it is important to continue involving other knowledge like the popular ones and
those contributed by other professions among them the social work, the anthropology,
because these they contribute methodologies and technical of investigation and
intervention that contribute to improve the quality of formation technician - social and
human of students and professors making them committed beings with their profession
and socially responsible, it is also important to let that the engineering changes its
formation scenarios, venture to formulate new learning classrooms and it is nurtured of
other looks and knowledge because these they will allow him to respond indeed to the
different challenges that it demands him the world.
