INOVAFEI E OS TRABALHOS DE CONCLUSÃO DE CURSO DE ENGENHARIA QUÍMICA DO CENTRO UNIVERSITÁRIO DA FEI

The INOVAFEI was established at FEI University in 2013 and is a biannual event where undergraduate Final Term Papers of many courses are presented. These works, which involve integration of different branches in Chemical Engineering as well as related areas, are developed in one year and guided by an advisor. In this paper, the conduction of Final Term Papers is described. Students are exhorted to work in groups, instead of a standalone basis, so they can improve important personal skills, such as teamwork. A professor is assigned and evaluates the work from the beginning until the end of the project. Since INOVAFEI has been created, 51 works were carried out, and most of them connected to waste treatment and clean technologies. The two best projects in INOVAFEI are awarded, creating a healthy competitive environment among students
