This draft document presents the registration and contextualization of the establishment of a collaborative space between a large metal-mechanical industry and a federal public university, in line with our academic coordination as federal public servants. The proposed space aims to provide an environment conducive to technological innovation and the development of immediate practical solutions to challenges faced by the metal-mechanical industry.

This research is designed to directly support industry professionals in making informed decisions for process improvements. The proposed methodology for this study will employ numerical simulations using CAE (computer-aided engineering) software to model heat transfer within coated tools and their supports.

This work introduces a replicable model using AI as a structured support tool—not a content generator—to refine technical writing and narratives in materials processing education. Guided by faculty mediation and ethical standards, the approach effectively enhances active learning and student synthesis capabilities in engineering projects.

This post examines the pedagogical imperative of faculty advisorship within the Junior Enterprise (JE) movement, using the longitudinal case study of Tetra Jr.—the Materials Engineering JE at the Federal University of Itajubá (UNIFEI), Itabira Campus—as a primary example. Commencing in October 2019, this continuous faculty guidance has been instrumental in bridging the often vast chasm between rigid academic theory and dynamic market practice.

This post provides a comprehensive retrospective on the pedagogical structure and execution of the graduate course "Entrepreneurship and Innovation" (GES 708), hosted by the renowned Center for Graduate Studies and Research in Administration (CEPEAD) at UFMG's Faculty of Economic Sciences.

This post highlights the collaboration between the State University of Minas Gerais (UEMG) and UNIFEI, fostering a sense of shared achievement and community among regional stakeholders.

This post explores the critical intersection between the sociological studies conducted by the 'Observatório Jovem' (Youth Observatory) and the field of Engineering Education, emphasizing how data on youth behavior related to technology, work, and STEM careers can inform pedagogical strategies in engineering courses.

This post announces the official publication of the "Abstract Book" (Livro de Resumos), which compiles the extended abstracts of the pedagogical extension activities presented during the "Workshop on Processing and Materials for Engineering."

This post presents a consolidated report on the pedagogical extension activities conducted at UNIFEI-Itabira throughout 2019. It highlights the publication of the "Abstract Book" resulting from the Workshop on Processing and Materials for Engineering, which documents student research and technical case studies.

This post serves as an official announcement for the pedagogical extension workshop titled "Engineering Materials and Processing Workshop" (Process No. 23499.001637/2019-82), hosted by UNIFEI.
