Evaluation of graduates of engineering: A study from the insertion and challenges in the market of the first classes of the UFSJ (2013-2017). Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2020, vol.25, n.2, pp.477-500.  Epub 09-Ago-2020. ISSN 1982-5765.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1414-4077/s1414-40772020000200013.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the egress of Engineering, with a cut-off of the alumni of the first groups of the Federal University of São João del Rei-MG. As a methodological course we used the descriptive statistical analysis of the sociocultural profile and academic performance of all the enrollments of the Campus. Then, interviews were conducted in the form of an online questionnaire with the graduates. The results indicate that graduates make up only 23% of the students who enrolled in a degree, whose profile is female (69.0%), single (86.5%) and from the state of Minas Gerais (93.5%). Regarding the challenges of insertion in the labor market, it was observed that the rejection rate in the postgraduate selective processes were low (9.2%) compared to the attempts to work in private initiatives (48.9%), which seems to illustrate the current economic crisis of the country. Finally, the evaluations in relation to the institution of education were positive in the perception of the graduates, and for the majority of those who are not working (62.5%), the lack of opportunities in the market was attributed. In view of the high unemployment rate, the research data are relevant for the creation of indicators for the evaluation of the courses and for the University management itself, as well as to reflect on the challenges of engineering higher education in 21st century employability.
