CRIAÇÃO DO CURSO DE ENGENHARIA DE MATERIAIS DA UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DO RIO GRANDE DO NORTE - UMA NOVA PROPOSTA

Summary :

UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES IN MATERIALS ENGINEERING AT THE UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DO RIO GRANDE DO NORTE ABSTRACT. NEW DEMANDS RELATED TO MODERN GLOBAL ECONOMY CONCEPTS REQUIRE GREATER INVOLVEMENT OF PROFESSIONALS FROM STRATEGIC AREAS, SUCH AS MATERIALS ENGINEERS. NEVERTHELESS, FEW UNDERGRADUATE COURSES ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IN THE FIELD OF MATERIALS, PARTICULARLY IN REGIONS UNDER INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. SUCH A SCENARIO REPRESENTS THE NORTHERN STATE OF RIO GRANDE DO NORTE, WHERE THE PÓLO GÁS-SAL, MODERN INSTALLATIONS DEDICATED TO DEVELOP THE INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY OF THE STATE BASED ON THE ABUNDANT NATURAL ENERGETIC AND MINERAL RESOURCES OF THE REGION, WERE RECENT INAUGURATED. MOTIVATED BY THE GREAT POTENTIAL OF THE REGION IN INDUSTRIAL MINERALS AND ENERGETIC RESOURCES, THE STAFF OF THE LOCAL FEDERAL UNIVERSITY INCLUDES APPROXIMATELY TWENTY PROFESSORS CURRENTLY RESEARCHING THE FIELD OF MATERIALS. FAVORABLE CONDITIONS HAVE THEN BEEN ENCOUNTERED FOR THE CREATION OF A MATERIALS ENGINEERING UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM AT UFRN. THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN DESIGNED BASED ON PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES FROM BOTH NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS WITH GREAT EXPERIENCE IN THE SUBJECT. ALL THE INFORMATION GATHERED HAD, HOWEVER, TO BE NECESSARILY ADAPTED TO COMPLY WITH LOCAL STANDARDS AND EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND. THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN STRUCTURED BASED ON THE NEW FEDERAL CODE FOR EDUCATION (LDB), IN ADDITION TO A SERIES OF NECESSARY MEASURES ARRANGED TO REDUCE EVASION AND MOTIVATE BEGINNERS TO THEIR CHOICE OF CAREER. AS A RESULT, A DRY AND INTERRELATED GROUP OF DISCIPLINES HAS BEEN PROPOSED WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF NOT ONLY GRANT THE STUDENTS THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY FOR A PRODUCTIVE CAREER, BUT ALSO TO DRIVE THEIR ATTENTION TOWARDS THE INTRICATE SET OF QUALIFICATIONS NECESSARY TO OVERCOME THE NEW CHALLENGES THAT AWAIT ENGINEERS OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY. KEYWORDS: MATERIALS ENGINEERING, UFRN, LDB
