Mensuração do Engajamento de Estudantes em Projetos do Campus da UFC em Russas no Contexto da Pandemia de Covid-19

Abstract

Stakeholder engagement is a subject that is gaining prominence in the world of projects, because it is of paramount importance for a project to be successful. For this reason, those responsible for projects seek to know the engagement of the participants. In the academic world, this engagement is already the target of some research. However, due to a certain lack in the area, and to the exceptional situation of the pandemic, which forced everyone into a certain social isolation, the need to conduct research on the involvement of students in academic projects focused on the Information Technology (IT) area was perceived. With this issue in mind, this research was carried out. Thus, the objective of this work is to know the level of engagement of students in IT projects. To this end, this work used measurement methods, such as the Uwes-s questionnaire and the engagement level evaluation matrix provided by the PMBoK guide for project management. With the accomplishment of this work, it was possible to measure the students' engagement, which will be delivered to the project coordinators.
