Aproximação do CT às escolas públicas do entorno do Pici por meio do ensino da topografia

Abstract

The extension project “Engineering in the School” was created in order to bring to the Technology Center students from public schools in the surrounding of the Pici Campus, making them able to get know one of the Federal University of Ceara campuses. This approach takes place through the discipline of Topography, of the Civil Engineering course, since it addresses the contents of Mathematics and Geography, learned during school life. Two schools were selected in 2019, with three classes being formed with students interested in participating in the short course “Notions of Topography and its Applications”. Initially, a lecture was held in each school, in which opportunities and the courses offered by the university were explained, in addition to their distribution on campuses. Then, classes are formed for the short course and in which two questionnaires are applied, one on the first day and another on the second, in order to assess the knowledge acquired by the participants. The results showed that the students were able to relate the content addressed in the short course with those who had already been studied during their school life, thus being well evaluated by the participants.
