Abstract

Increasingly the professional has faced with competitiveness and changes in the business market. With that, having a training of excellence is essential. It’s noted a lot of educational institutions using an "archaic" learning method, with no participation or involvement of students.

Therefore, this paper proposes an analysis of the learning methods and techniques of two disciplines of the Production Engineering course in a private college localized in Minas Gerais. With the analysis it was realized that more than 50% of the students believe that the application of practical activities by the teachers of the engineering course is essential. Related to the disciplines analyzed, it was identified that more than 75% of the students considered at least "good" the activities proposed in the classroom. The activities that are highlighted and had more acceptance for the students were: Jurandir Case, Fun Party Flow Chart and Chocolate Truffle Factory.
