Análise de eficiência de programas de pós-graduação em Engenharias III

Abstract

The effectiveness of Brazil's postgraduate programs is directly linked to the country's capacity for innovation, which entails the need to diagnose the causes of low academic achievement, as well as the development of techniques and methods to evaluate and measure performance Of educational units. In this sense, the objective of this project was to analyze the efficiency of postgraduate programs in Brazilian Engineering III. Through the application of the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique, the most efficient programs were identified, and through the Tobit Regression the degree of influence of certain inputs was determined (number of professor; scholars of CNPq; Number of students) in educational performance. The results of this project can contribute to a better understanding of the dynamics and determining factors of the national academic production, in order to generate knowledge about postgraduate programs, especially courses that did not reach the production efficiency standards Required by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES).
