IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference, EDUCON
Conference · pp. 969-976
Abstract

The university-enterprise connection has been growing in importance over the years. Also, the supervised internship, fulfilled during undergraduate course, is mandatory in several careers, according to Brazilian law, and is considered one of the forms of cooperation between universities and enterprises. In the present study, considering that this interaction between the academic world and the corporate world is beneficial for both sides, it is sought to verify how the students of a Brazilian federal public education institution have been evaluated according to behavioral aspects, knowledge and commitment by the granting companies. The objective is to know the strengths and weaknesses to feed the process of modernization of education. It can be noticed that, in general, the students were well evaluated, indicating the value of the training obtained in the studied institution, although is possible to do diverse improvements. © 2017 IEEE.
