O PROJETO ESTRUTURANTE NO CURSO DE ENGENHARIA CIVIL DO CEFET/RJ – UMA PROPOSTA DE INTEGRAÇÃO MULTIDISCIPLINAR

Abstract

The highly competitive global scenario turns out to awaken the national civil construction sector, which after a long period of technological inertia, starts to show a first movement led in the direction of sustainability. This long and difficult journey to be traveled by the civil engineer is finding difficulties in the actual static and archaic education methodology set up in the centers and educational institutions. How to overcome challenges in the education of the engineer? How institutions can (and should) develop a process of constant updating and revitalizing for their course aiming to follow dynamic world? Below is a proposal made in the CEFET/RJ since 2007, providing an updating for the academic structure with the insertion of the discipline structuring project which aims to disseminate new concepts adapted to the reality and needs of the productive sector in conjuncture with the generation of new skills required for professionals by the industry. The project is being developed and this is a first analysis of the approaches used, focusing on the advantages and problems that were encountered in the course of the project that occurred in the institution. Key-words: Education and research, Structuring project, Project.
