Panorama da informática no curso de engenharia de materiais do DEMa-UFSCar

Abstract

The Materials Engineering course at DEMa - UFSCar is a pioneer in Latin America and holds the position of reference for other courses, whether due to its history or the training of professors who work in other universities. Therefore, education in Materials Engineering must understand the panorama of computing at undergraduate level. This panorama and its benefits for students have been studied abroad, which is not the case in Brazil. Aiming at this gap, an analysis was developed on some software programs mentioned in foreign literature that could be applied to the curriculum of the Materials Engineering course at the Federal University of São Carlos. In this analysis, factors considered included whether the software has been or is currently used at DEMa - UFSCar, and whether the tool's license is free or commercial.
