CEFET-MG offers to its student a complete academic formation, from the technician of average level to the doctorate. Within the Institution, students of all levels integrate research groups, share knowledge and are guided by a capable and active teaching staff in all levels of education. The acknowledgment of this commitment of the CEFET-MG is seen in the size of the investment of the Federal Government and the State Government in scholarships for our researchers.

Professional and Technological Education

Professional and technical education has changed throughout the history of the institution, in constant dialogue with reality. From the first classes focused on the almost artisanal training in the School of Apprentice Crafts, our courses followed the growing national industrialization, and today they cover service sectors, new technologies and social concerns. The technicians certified by CEFET-MG present a solid scientific and technological formation, as well as experiencing an environment that allows them to contact the new frontiers of development and a critical vision of the society in which they are inserted and in which they will act. Blending tradition and innovation, CEFET-MG’s technical courses help our students in their training for the world of work and the multiple possibilities and demands that contemporary society places on us.

Undergraduate courses

The consolidation of CEFET-MG as an institution of higher education was the result of an institutional policy that consolidated several areas of knowledge, an intense program of training of the faculty and the constitution of new research groups. Currently, CEFET-MG offers 16 undergraduate courses, with about 4000 students.
The professionals graduated by CEFET-MG are able to respond to the challenges of the labor market, ready to propose new solutions and assume the responsibilities of large projects in their area of ​​operation.

Graduate program

CEFET-MG, in the 1980s, agreed with the Loughborough University of Technology a Technical Cooperation Agreement, with the support of CAPES and the British Council, to enable a master’s degree program to deepen the training of faculty and, in this way , CEFET-MG could offer other undergraduate courses besides Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. The result of the project was the Master’s Program in Technology which, as early as 1991, had its own faculty and laboratory infrastructure.
By 2013, CEFET-MG already offered seven master’s programs as well as a doctoral program.

Research

The first research groups of CEFET-MG appeared in the 1990s. They were responsible for the registration with the CNPq and the beginning of the Master Programs began. In 2012, CEFET-MG already counted 76 active research groups, thanks to the institutional policy that generated support and encouraged the formation of new sets of researchers. The result of this work is the increase in the number of masters and doctors in the Institution.
An important aspect of research groups is the gathering of students from all levels of education, that is, technical education students work together with undergraduates, masters and doctoral candidates. As a result, CEFET-MG has the largest Junior Scientific Initiation Scholarship Program in the country, with 180 annual grants. The consequence of this work is a student with a high level of knowledge and specialization, and international recognition.

Started in 1993, when the Center for Higher Education of Brasília – CESB was founded with the objective of developing teaching, research and extension activities at a higher level. Four years later, the MEC authorizes the operation of the first undergraduate courses, which functioned in a building rented in 902 South. Two years later, the IESB partners with ESDEVA, building three new buildings in 609 North. In 2003, the Edson Machado Campus was opened in Asa Sul.

With a dynamic and innovative approach, the IESB stands out among educational institutions by combining theory and practice as a fundamental prerequisite for quality training. With unique infrastructure and aesthetics differentiated, IESB consolidates its reputation in ally technology, modernity and daring in the training of professionals contested by the labor market in traditional and creative areas, hitherto little explored in Brasilia.

As important as the training of competent professionals, the IESB establishes as one of its bases, the formation of citizens aware of their role in the world. Issues of social responsibility and emerging social issues are intrinsic elements of the work of the institution and the training of students. Volunteer work such as the Varjão Project, in addition to others, stand out in the community and confirm the importance of the IESB as a center for citizenship.

In 2010, Ceilândia Campus was born, in the city of the same name, which is created to serve the regions of Ceilândia itself, Taguatinga, Águas Claras and other satellite cities.

In 2011, the IESB is recognized by the Ministry of Education as a University Center. In 2013, it joins Pronatec, a program of the Ministry of Education to stimulate technical training. In 2014, it is accredited for the offer of undergraduate and postgraduate distance. From 2001 until today, the IESB has already trained more than 25 thousand students. Today we have more than 15 thousand students enrolled.

In the Campus Norte – Giovanina Rímoli, courses in Law, International Relations, Administration, Management and Physical Education are offered, in addition to Postgraduate courses. They all have experienced and highly trained teachers.

Courses related to Creative Economy such as Architecture, Communication, Design (Graphic, Fashion, Interior), Gastronomy, Aesthetics & Cosmetics, Theater, Cinema and Photography are offered at the South Campus – Edson Machado, which also offers courses in Engineering.

In Campus Ceilândia – Liliane Barbosa are offered, in addition to traditional courses, others aimed at the rapid insertion of students in the job market.
