Brazil’s academic evaluation system is based on grades (concepts). The present paper is an evolutionary study of the stricto sensu programs of Engineering III. The methodology used demonstrated that 12 post-graduate programs, mostly from public institutions, obtained maximum efficiency throughout the entire evaluation cycle. The present study also shows that the South and Southeast regions of Brazil have the most efficient programs. Results indicated a considerable increase in the number of certified programs and a low correlation of program concept and efficiency, corroborating the assumption that not all high concept programs will have a high rate of scientific output.

Keywords : ENGINEERING; POST-GRADUATE EVALUATION; CAPES; GRADUATE STUDIES.
