Computer science incorporates information theory that is a fundamental element in project management. Achieving the conservation of the current resources for future generations has become an increasingly important and urgent challenge for our society. Thus, the sustainability topic becomes more valid on the agenda of governments and organizations. This cross-section empirical study presents partial results of the perception of a representative sample of engineering project managers in Colombia about the implementation of sustainability elements in the management of these projects, established in the sustainable project management maturity model. The results applying information science, indicate a greater orientation towards the aspects of product sustainability than the project process and in general that in the studied context, the economic dimension significantly predominates over social and environmental aspects.
