Engineering program under the new paradigm of education

Once more University is reacting and readapting itself to the new necessities of the so-called post industrial revolution society. In the center of this revolution is technology. Attempting to meet this need, SENAC School of Engineering and Technology has conceived and developed the Telecommunication Engineering Program, which contains in its curricula the "free period". It is called so because it is a time the students have to attend classes in several other areas of knowledge, in one of the Units of SENAC. They are free to choose among the many options like: environment issues, nursery, photography, design, fashion, languages, art, etc. They can choose as many areas as they want along the five years, at least one per two years. At the end of each period they have to present a report about their development. The report is showed and discussed with a council consisting of a psychologist, a pedagogue, an engineering professor and the coordinator of the program
