Análise do impacto do programa ENG200 na construção de um ambiente favorável para mudanças educacionais

Abstract

This paper presents the analysis of the influence of the Innovation Program for Engineering Education (ENG200 Program), founded in 2012 to build a favorable environment for educational changes at the School of Engineering of UFMG (EEUFMG). Based on the concept of impact, defined by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) as “long-term effects, positive or negative, primary or secondary, produced by a development intervention, directly or indirectly, intentionally or involuntarily”, a survey was carried out with EEUFMG students, faculty and technical-administrative staff, through online forms, with the objective of measuring the specific impacts of three ENG200 Program projects (Engenharia Recebe, Challenge Project of Introduction to Engineering and Ruptura UFMG), in addition to the general influences of the Program. The data collected from these forms are discussed in this paper, seeking to involve the entire context that guided the Program in its years of operation, as well as to correlate its performance with innovation, student leadership and the National Curricular Guidelines (DCNs) of Engineering, guiding principles of the ENG200 Program.
