Environmental Engineering Program in Brazil

In a country like Brazil, more than ever it is necessary to increase the number of researchers committed to the environment, principally because this country has an immense challenge: to promote development for the welfare of people without forgetting the human aspects involved in the relations-man, progress and nature. So it is imperative that the creation of alternatives for the qualification of scientific minds to make science and create technology. This project consists in a proposal of an Environmental Engineering Program, conceived by the Coordinating Team of Engineering School of Lusiada University Center. It is a five years program, having in its curriculum some new courses of modern sciences, besides the ones demanded by the Education Law of Brazil, for engineering programs. It is a modular education, developed in periods, called "theoretical modules" and "search modules". They last four months each and they are complimentary. At the end of the the student will be an engineer capable of promoting human welfare and contributing to decrease the grade of the impact of progress over nature and even over men.
