Abstract
The teaching-learning process in a course of an engineering program should have the pretention to reach the highest cognitive levels as described by Bloom’s taxonomy of educational objectives. The National Student Performance Exam (ENADE –“Exame Nacional de Desempenho de Estudantes”) applied to the undergratuate students by the Ministry of Education (MEC - “Ministério da Educação”) of the Federative Republic of Brazil follows clearly this directive. The students of engineering programs take a specific ENADE related to their acting area, which occurs in an evaluative cycle of three years. Inside this context, this work describes the evaluation approaches applied at puter Engineering Program of the Positivo University. As an example, is presented the case of a specific course of the program, the Digital Systems Course, by means of which the direct and indirect evaluative process of the MEC, of the program and of the course are discussed in the form of its influence over the teaching-learning process.
1. Introduction
The engineering education in Brazil faces several challenges now (CORDEIRO et al, 2008), considering the importance of professionals in these
