The role of universities as knowledge building space is fundamental for the insertion of the environmental approach (greening) in its various fronts (education, research, extension, and management). Following the line of several types of researches about the subject, this paper aims to identify if and how the issue of sustainability (e.g. through Project-Based Learning use) is taught in the various engineering programs of a Portuguese Public University. This study was carried out by a documental research based on the programs´ curricula published in the official website of the university. The engineering programs selected included integrated master, master (second cycle) and doctorate (third cycle). In this study, it was identified programs that are more focused on sustainability concepts than others, so the programs were classified in three categories: strongest, medium and weakest focus. 2017 artículo científico 0103-6513 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=396751067006 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3967/396751067006/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3967/396751067006/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3967/396751067006/396751067006.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3967/396751067006/movil 10.1590/0103-6513.221416 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3967 Production application/pdf Associação Brasileira de Engenharia de Produção Production (Brasil) Num.spe Vol.27
