CAETANO, Sílvia. Contribuição à avaliação do curso de graduação da Faculdade de Engenharia de Alimentos da Unicamp em face dos saberes da prática profissional de seus egressos. Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2002, vol.07, n.02, pp.139-148. ISSN 1414-4077.

Bringing the idea that the analysis of professional performance is an indirect way to evaluate their academic education, this work intends to help with the evaluation of undergraduate programs at FEA/Unicamp. It tries to investigate the know-how demanded from professionals in their practices and to find its source, in order to evaluate the academic contribution to the acquisition of the required skills. The data were obtained mainly from inquiries with university graduates, conducted with the aid of sketched guidelines, fact that brings the possibility to adapt the interview according to each one's personal experience. The main conc1usion, which is a result of the data analysis, is about the important contribution of the academic institution to the achievement of basic theoretical and technical knowledge. But, according to the analysis, FEA was not able to contribute largely to the achievement of the know-how demanded in the professional practices of graduates. This study intends to help with the curricular changes at FEA/Unicamp.

Keywords : Academic Education; Undergraduate Studies; Know-How of Professional Practices; Inquiries; FEA/Unicamp Graduates.
