Análise do impacto das ações de extensão no desenvolvimento profissional da Engenharia Química

Abstract

There is a consensus regarding the contribution of university extension actions to a more comprehensive academic education, given their intense connection with theory and practice, as well as their relationship with the professional environment and its trends, so essential for a more efficient entry into the labor market and the development of inter-social and technical skills. The notorious "soft and hard skills". In the Chemical Engineering course, this reality couldn't be different and is quite linked to the collective effort of students and professors, the main projects being PET, Tutorial Education Program, AiChE, Student Chapter, EPEQ, Pilot School, CAEQ, Academic Center, Ciclo Jr. In view of this, this work aims to show the degree of influence of participation of these extensions on professional improvement and, for this, the theoretical-methodological conception adopted was a form with exploratory and objective questions, in which 53 valid answers were obtained from a sample of students from the seventh semester to recent graduates. In this study, it was used in the closed questions, a metric from 0 to 10 in the perceptionof the evolution of competence, with medium level collection in the contribution of extension projects on the scale of 8.8, with 86% of the answers evaluating the entry in these actions in theirqualification equal to or higher than 9.
