Resumo: This article aims to identify the bottlenecks in engineering education in Brazil addressingthe following research question: what are the bottlenecks in engineering education asperceived by engineers themselves? The research explores the range of possible answersposed by engineers engaged in higher education teaching based on 21 semi-structuredinterviews with faculty and academic administrators. The results show that there issignificant agreement in relation to bottlenecks in engineering education, such as:differences in education in private and public universities; low intensity in practicalexperience during training and rigidities of syllabus; the challenges of interdisciplarity;training in education for faculty; the internationalization of universities and ethics andsocial responsibility in engineering training. Public policies must address these bottlenecksif aiming to resolve problems in the quality of engineering training related to socialproblems, for the quantity of graduated engineers has grown significantly in Brazil sincethe mid-2000s.

A pesquisa explora a gama de respostas possíveis oferecidas pelos engenheiros envolvidos com o ensino das engenharias a partir de 21 entrevistas semi-estruturadas com professores e administradores acadêmicos ligados às engenharias e questionário virtual aplicados a engenheiros empregados no setor produtivo. Os resultados mostram que há concordância significativa em relação aos gargalos na formação dos engenheiros, sendo estes: as diferenças na formação das universidades públicas e privadas; o baixo volume de atividades práticas durante o curso e engessamento do currículo; os desafios da interdisciplinaridade; a formação dos professores na área educacional; o grau de internacionalização das universidades e a ética e responsabilidade social do conhecimento produzido nas engenharias. Políticas públicas devem se atentar para esses gargalos de forma a sanar problemas de qualidade na formação de engenheiros voltadas às preocupações sociais, uma vez que a quantidade de engenheiros formados aumentou significativamente a partir da segunda metade dos anos 2000.Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Leme Strini Velho, Léa MariaOliveira Pamplona da Costa, JanainaLoureiro Gourlart, Fernanda2019-01-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.utfpr.edu.br/rts/article/view/781810.3895/rts.v15n35.7818Revista Tecnologia e Sociedade; v. 15, n. 35 (2019)Revista Tecnologia e Sociedade; v. 15, n. 35 (2019)1984-35261809-004410.3895/rts.v15n35reponame:Revista Tecnologia e Sociedade (Online)instname:Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR)instacron:UTFPRporhttps://periodicos.utfpr.edu.br/rts/article/view/7818/5881Direitos autorais 2019 CC-BYhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-04-27T12:39:14Zoai:periodicos.utfpr:article/7818Revistahttps://periodicos.ifrs.edu.br/index.php/tearPUBhttps://periodicos.utfpr.edu.br/rts/oai||rts-ct@utfpr.edu.br1984-35261809-0044opendoar:2019-04-27T12:39:14Revista Tecnologia e Sociedade (Online) - Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR)false
