Sumario:The objective of this work is to analyze the importance of including and teaching Entrepreneurship in the educational systems. In order to achieve it, the opinion of managers, teachers, students and graduates of an Engineering career in Argentina had been studied and correlated between them.A qualitative-quantitative methodology was employed. Face-to-face interviews were carried out with the career management department and an online survey was conducted with the fourth- and fifth-year students. Subsequently, a survey was conducted to the teachers of the career and, finally, graduates as well. The board members think that it is difficult for a subject to teach how to be an entrepreneur, but that it is better to transpose it by constantly setting an example, while the students show a great predisposition to start their own enterprises. The lecturers believe that their matter is of great importance to develop a sustainable country, but it is not fully developed within the career syllabus. The most influential factors in the entrepreneurial attitude are family and friends. Each group point out the lack of the linkage between Entrepreneurship and the career. It is important to make a change towards a develop of Entrepreneur skills in the University.
