Preliminary study of quality indicators of an undergraduate course in chemical engineering

Abstract

In view of the implementation scenario of the new National Curricular Guidelines - DCNs-, the present work proposes to study on the indicators of the Chemical Engineering course at the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV). A study was carried out of the proposals presented by the new resolution, as well as a survey of performance quality indicators for undergraduate courses in Brazil. It was possible to contextualize the Chemical Engineering course through the critical analysis of the indicators raised, as well as indicating ways in which the preparation of a new pedagogical project for the course can meet the objectives of the current DCNs, seeking to promote greater multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary in their pedagogical practice, with a greater emphasis on the development of students' skills.
