Me encuentro en el planteamiento de la importancia de este campo de estudio de la ecología para la Ingeniería Ambiental en mi facultad, con lo que pretendo ser conciso y abrir el espacio de aceptación de este conocimiento como un tema disciplinar de la labor como Ingeniero ambiental.
Environmental engineering has many uses in ecology:
It involves waste water management, air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal, radiation protection, industrial hygiene, environmental sustainability, public health and environmental engineering law. It also includes studies on the environmental impact of proposed construction projects.
Dr. McKenzie, thank you very much for your comment.
The thing is, as I said on my question: I'm in the approach of the importance of this field of study of the ecology (Ecology, Evolution and Conservation of Plant-Animal Interactions) for my Environmental Engineering faculty, so I intend to be concise to open the space of acceptance of this knowledge as a disciplinary subject for the studies as an Environmental Engineer, because I'm also studying biology and I'm trying to write, with some citations, a solid argument for the faculty.
I hope I still could recibe information to cite.
Sincerely,

Hi Juan:
Ups! I believe that there are many answers to your question. Since my point of view, may be the best way to answer is with an example. Let me explain one.
In Mexico some colleges (mainly Dra. Coro Arizmendi) and I are trying to build hummingbird gardens. These creations could be very appreciated by people living in the cities. It is because a hummingbird garden could be very colorful due to the flower color of the plants used and the iridescent colors of visiting hummingbirds; besides, if the owner of the garden use native plants, it can help to preserve the local plant species and the vegetation at landscape level, because it offer nectar sources to hummingbirds and improve the visitation of hummingbirds and the pollination done by them at landscape level. Only as example, an environmental engineer can help to design and improve the function of such gardens. In a time when the extinction of pollinators species is a worry, such approach can help to preserve (i.e. it is conservation) the ecological functions of the bird-plant interaction (i.e. it is ecology), and may be that it affect the development of such relationship (i.e. it is evolution).
I hope that my point of view help in some way.
Regards
Raúl
