Abstract:

The shortage of engineering and technology professionals is a potential threat to Brazil's economic growth. To reduce the country's deficit of engineers, the Federal University of Santa Catarina, has created the Joinville Technologic Center, which offers engineering courses in the vehicular and transportation areas. To promote technology activities for the engineering students this project was proposed. This paper presents the some extra courses and workshop using robotics LEGO® to improve the motivation and the learning process.
