The study of environmental design at different levels of education is an effective measure of the knowledge acquired throughout the training of students. The study of a theme is not always seen with the objective of experiencing conceptions in the general sphere, but in many situations, only as a source of knowledge for the exercise of the profession. The aim of this study is to analyze the change in the conception of Environmental Education in a technical course in Environment, resulting from the training for which the course prepares. This work is part of a field research in which the open answers were collected and later content analysis was performed while the closed questions were analyzed and tabulated. The change in environmental conception was evidenced since the freshmen students demonstrated that the interrelationship between the human being and the environment is directly linked to Environmental Educationand the seniors also encompassed, in this aspect, the professional area. The change occurred in such a way that the EA was recognized in the context beyond the development of students in various areas of knowledge and also in attitudes that involve the relationship with the environment.
