THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE BRAFITEC AND ENGINEER 3I PROGRAM TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY'S INTERNATIONALIZATION. Educ. rev. [online]. 2021, vol.37, e26101.  Epub Nov 06, 2021.

The objective of this research is to compare the Engineer 3i Program with the Brazil France Ingénieur Technologie (Brafitec), regarding the participating institutions, the courses involved, the funding offered, the language requirements, the teamwork, the presence of a partner company, the content and the certification, with the focus on identifying aspects that can improve the internationalization of the university. This is a documentary study of a qualitative nature. The Engineer 3i Program, despite important financial limitations when compared to the Brafitec Program, stands out for providing a complementary formative path, aiming at an engineer who works in teams, faces real problems and presents communicative domain in three languages. We conclude that mobility programs produce important lessons for the internationalization of the Brazilian public university and for improving the quality of its teaching and research. The three i's of the Program, proposed by two technological institutions that want to internationalize, appear as an important reference to think about the becoming of the engineering profession in a world without borders.

Keywords : Brafitec; Engineer 3i; internationalization; University.
