Resumo: Environmental Engineering, a relatively new type of engineering, still longs for more information on training and professional performance. Research with graduates can support this debate. This study presents exploratory and qualitative and quantitative research with graduates of Environmental Engineering from EM / UFOP regarding their perceptions about the course, the job market, and the relationship between the content received during graduation and the professional reality. The online questionnaire applied (survey method) identified the need to expand the articulation between theoretical content and real work situations - which corroborates the current trends in engineering education focused on a curriculum based on projects and other active methodologies. The articulation between the theoretical and practical content was also present in the reasons for increasing or decreasing the student's motivation during the course, in the suggestions for insertion of subjects, and the advice directed to the undergraduate students. Extracurricular activities stand out as an instrument for maintaining student motivation and facilitating their insertion in the job market. Graduates enter the market relatively quickly, with 50% of them starting to work in the field in less than 6 months after graduating. However, the largest portion (63%) receives less than the minimum wage. Average wages are higher among graduates with more experience. The results contribute to discussions about teaching Environmental Engineering, to promote the training of better prepared and safer professionals for professional coping.

Investigaciones con alumnos egresados pueden subvencionar la discusión sobre su enseñanza. Este estudio presenta una investigación exploratoria y cuali-cuantitativa con egresados de Ingeniería Ambiental de la EM/UFOP cuanto sus percepciones sobre la carrera, el mercado laboral y la relación entre los contenidos recibidos en la universidad y la realidad profesional. El cuestionario electrónico aplicado (método Survey) identificó la necesidad de ampliación de la articulación entre los contenidos teóricos y las situaciones reales en el trabajo – lo que corrobora para las actuales tendencias de enseñanza en ingeniería dirigidas para un plan de estudios basado en proyectos y otras metodologías activas. La articulación entre el contenido teórico y práctico también estuvo presente en las razones para el aumento o disminución de la motivación de los estudiantes durante su grado, en las sugerencias para inserción de asignaturas y en consejos direccionados a los alumnos. Las actividades extracurriculares se destacan como instrumento para mantener la motivación del alumno y para facilitar su inserción en el mercado laboral. Los graduados ingresan al mercado rápidamente, con 50% de ellos empezando a trabajar en el área en menos de seis meses después del final del grado. Sin embargo, su más grande parte (63%) recibe menos que el sueldo mínimo determinado para la clase. Los sueldos promedios son más altos entre los egresados con más experiencia. Los resultados contribuyen a las discusiones sobre la enseñanza de Ingeniería Ambiental con el propósito de promover la capacitación de profesionales mejor preparados y más seguros para hacer frente al mercado laboral. A Engenharia Ambiental, uma modalidade relativamente nova de engenharia, ainda anseia por maiores debates sobre a formação e atuação profissional. As pesquisas com egressos podem subsidiar a discussão e proposições sobre o ensino da engenharia. Esse estudo apresenta uma pesquisa exploratória e quali-quantitativa com egressos da Engenharia Ambiental da EM/UFOP quanto às suas percepções sobre o curso, o mercado de trabalho e a relação entre os conteúdos recebidos na graduação e a realidade profissional. O questionário online aplicado (método survey) identificou a necessidade da ampliação da articulação entre os conteúdos teóricos e as situações reais de trabalho – o que corrobora para as atuais tendências de ensino em engenharia voltado para um currículo baseado em projetos e outras metodologias ativas. A articulação entre o conteúdo teórico e prático também esteve presente nos motivos para aumento ou diminuição da motivação do estudante durante o curso, nas sugestões para inserção de disciplinas, e nos conselhos direcionados aos graduandos. As atividades extracurriculares destacam-se como instrumento para manutenção da motivação do aluno e para facilitar sua inserção no mercado de trabalho. Os egressos se inserem no mercado de forma relativamente rápida, com 50% deles começando a trabalhar na área de formação em menos de 6 meses depois de graduados. No entanto, a maior parcela (63%) recebe menos do que o piso salarial do engenheiro. As médias salariais são maiores entre os egressos com maior experiência. Os resultados contribuem para discussões sobre ensino da Engenharia Ambiental, no intuito de promover a formação de profissionais mais bem preparados e seguros para o enfrentamento profissional. Research, Society and Development2020-06-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/506410.33448/rsd-v9i8.5064Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 No. 8; e94985064Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 Núm. 8; e94985064Research, Society and Development; v. 9 n. 8; e949850642525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/5064/4540Copyright (c) 2020 Aníbal da Fonseca Santiago, José Francisco do Prado Filho, Lívia Cristina Pinto Dias, Gustavo Silva Magalhaes Gomes, Lívia Bastos de Lima, Ítalo César Rosa Mol, Maria Clara dos Santos Martinsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantiago, Aníbal da FonsecaPrado Filho, José Francisco doDias, Lívia Cristina PintoGomes, Gustavo Silva MagalhaesLima, Lívia Bastos deMol, Ítalo César RosaMartins, Maria Clara Santos2020-08-20T18:00:17Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/5064Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:28:41.918779Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
