This communication explains a experience for the introduction of English terminology in a technical degree of higher education. We present the methodology and assessment procedures used to evaluate the way the students perceived the introduction of terminology in English in two different subjects from 3rd and 5th year courses of a Computer Science degree in which English was not the vehicular language. We propose a strategy based on two main pillars, namely: 1) The design of materials, explanations, and exams, paying particular attention to the way in which the specific terminology was exposed to the students, and 2) The assessment of the impact in the students by means of the analysis of the feedback trough a set of enquiries. Our experience showed that the students responded very positively to the introduction of English terminology, and presented an affirmative feedback about the impact that an improvement of their linguistic abilities would have in their future work. Further, we present statistics regarding the use of English as the vehicular language for technical reports, which is envisaged as very useful by the students. Finally, we propose a set of questions for further debate which are centered in the role that English terminology should pay in technical degrees, and about the way in which universities should deploy resources in English languages within the different Syllabus

La universidad debe responder actualmente a la formación de un profesional integral, que desde su profesión contribuya a salvar nuestro hábitat, dando solución a los problemas ambientales que se manifiesten en su entorno, sin embargo se revelan insuficiencias en el proceso de ambientalización de la Carrera de Agronomía en la Facultad Agropecuaria de Montaña del Escambray. La investigación que se presenta, se realizó desde una perspectiva interpretativa, utilizando una metodología cualitativa y con un diseño de investigación evaluativa. A partir de los resultados del diagnóstico que permitió determinar cómo se encuentra declarada la Educación Ambiental en el currículo del agrónomo y la formación en la temática que poseen los profesores de la institución, fue elaborada una propuesta de intervención para elevar la formación ambiental de los egresados de la Facultad, proyectada en una estrategia docente educativa y cursos de superación para los docentes.
