On Monday, December 12th, 2022, Insper’s auditorium hosted the closure of another edition of the Engineering Final Project (PFE), integrated course on the Mechanical, Mechatronics and Computer Engineering programs, connected to the Paulo Cunha Innovation Hub.

 

PFE is a program that puts Insper students closer to the labor market and is one of Insper’s Engineers formation process conclusion’s checkpoints. The initiative allows the application of acquired knowledge throughout undergraduation on developing innovative solutions for real challenges brought by school’s partner companies.

 

“PFE includes projects developed by students of Insper’s three Engineering programs. In those projects Mechanical Engineering students can include the ones from Mechatronics or Computer, at a cross-functional fashion. Everything is possible in this knowledge integration to deliver the best proposal for partner companies”, says professor Luciano Soares, PFE academic coordinator.

 

In 2022 second semester, PFE had 19 developed projects for 16 organizations and counted on participation of 74 students. In addition, 10 students groups that presented the best proposals were granted with Falconi-Insper’s Excellence Certification, issued by the company Falconi Consultores de Resultado (Results Consultants). Two other groups were granted the Highlight Certification, ensuring professional recognition on projects conduction and performance.

 

Abel Cavalcante, Computer Engineering student, was part of a group who developed a tool to optimize the distribution of products of a company, considering logistical and taxes issues. “Tax-paying in Brazil is pretty complex, what brings a high weight in product’s final price. This was the problem we attacked in our project”, says Cavalcante. “When we assessed the program’s impact, we noticed a 6.13% reduction of costs related to products flow by only modifying the route the warehouses and final client, due to taxes from places the platform suggested”, states João Bueno, Mechanical Engineering and part of the group.

 

The group of Beatriz Muniz, Computer Engineering Student, developed an augmented reality system as supporting method for oncological neurosurgery. The program allows the surgeon to have direct access to patient’s tumor without having to look to any other external camera, ensuring higher precision in the process. “This method allows to reduce the time of Surgery”, says Beatriz. “We presented the work for Insper’s partner hospital, who enjoyed the proposal a lot and will continue the project”, celebrates the student.

 

Insper’s Engineering programs’ differential

 

One of Insper’s Engineering programs’ main characteristics is curricular table integration, which allows student to cross among different knowledge fields, in addition to Mechanical, Mechatronics and Computer Engineering’s’ theoretical and practical knowledges in the first two years. After such experience, the student can choose in which area they want to get specialization.

 

According to Professor Luciano Soares, Insper Engineering programs go beyond the market known traditional format. “We have other areas in which our students can explore, such as design, entrepreneurship, interpersonal relationship, context awareness, practical learning. Those are skills that ensure Insper undergraduate’s differentials”, states.

 

Insper’s Engineering proposal is to prepare a student who doesn’t have only technical knowledge, but who’s also capable of creating, designing, having entrepreneur attitude, knowing teamwork and being able to propose solutions to companies with good communication and organization.

 

For Guilherme Martins, Insper’s undergraduation dean, Insper Engineerings redefined the school. “Engineering programs began in 2015. By that time, we were only a business school, but our dream was also to contribute with innovation and entrepreneurship to solve society’s problems”, states Martins.
