ANÁLISE DO PERFIL SOCIOECONÔMICO DOS EGRESSOS, SUA INSERÇÃO PROFISSIONAL E AVALIAÇÃO DO CURSO DE ENGENHARIA CIVIL DA UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DA PARAÍBA ENTRE OS ANOS DE 2009 E 2018

Abstract

Formation and professional qualification are two importante basis points of the economic and social development of a country. Being one of the courses present in the foundation of the Federal University of Paraíba, the Civil Engineering course has formed, in the last 10 years, around 650 professionals. This study aims to analyze the profile of these professionals with a survey of their socioeconomic characteristics such as schooling, income, sex and professional status, and their professional insertion, comparing academic training and the reality faced in the job market to list the faulty points and those who are prominent in the training, as well as discovering what the evaluation of the course is from the perspective of the professionals trained by it. Data were collected through the application of an online form, participants were classified from their answers and grouped according to their common characteristics. The results show the configuration of a worrying scenario for civil engineers trained in the last years and probably for the next ones, if solutions are not constructed that update the contents given, meet the market demands and use new and more participative teaching methodologies.
