Socioeconomic changes have been noticing in all society sectors affecting university education and the possibility to escape from them is rare. At the beginning of the 21st century, formation researchers have questioned the gap development between education and job, showing competencies weakness. We perform an example of strategic planning with two specific objectives: graduate and post-graduate teaching improvement and critical knowledge development. Under these objectives, professors who are the responsible of the one most important professional opportunity from environmental engineering, have developed a set of activities and initiatives.
