    This research analyzes counter-mapping as a knowledge co-production strategy in the territorial engagement of the Hydraulic Engineering program at the Technical University of Cotopaxi, taking Cotopaxi Province as the study area. The problem is related to the dispersión and limited organization of the information generated through community engagement projects, which makes it difficult to consult, analyze, and use this information for future interventions. The objective was to analyze the impact of counter-mapping on the management of the program and on the university-community engagement process through the identification and georeferencing of projects, the assessment of community perceptions, and the development of a dynamic map. The research used spatial, technical, and social information through Geographic Information System tools, mainly QGIS, GPS, field data sheets, and structured satisfaction surveys. Thirteen community engagement projects involving water boards, communities, neighborhoods, and educational institutions were identified and georeferenced, integrating information on location, infrastructure, problems, and proposed solutions. In addition, 10 surveys were conducted, and the results showed a favorable perception: 70% rated student performance as excellent in terms of technical aspects, application of knowledge, planning, ethics, and responsibility, while 80% rated the overall quality of the work and the results provided as excellent. It is concluded that ountermapping strengthens territorial organization, integrates technical and community knowledge, and constitutes a useful tool for improving information management and the niversitycommunity relationship, as well as supporting the planning of future sustainable territorial interventions.
