ANÁLISE DOS ASPECTOS REFERENTES À PERCEPÇÃO DA CRIATIVIDADE NOS CURSOS DE ENGENHARIA ELÉTRICA E DE PRODUÇÃO

Abstract

Currently the dynamics of the globalized world has given rise to a new demand for professionals in all areas and in Engineering is no different. Due to the ease of finding a wide range of theoretical and technical content on the Internet, society is looking for more people to think of Engineering, ie professionals who use the power of creativity to solve problems that are presented. Therefore, the problem lies in reconciling an appropriate teaching methodology to a new generation of students, where the latter becomes an active component of the learning process. Thus, this work aims to show the importance of the creative development during the course of Engineering. For this, was studied two teaching methods that seek to use problem solving to develop a creative thought, the PBL (Problem-Based Learning) and TRIZ (Theory Troubleshooting Creatives). After the theoretical foundation closed questionnaire was conducted in order to obtain the perception of the students involved in this type of learning, as well as seeking to realize through the use of the tools mentioned above it is possible that the students finish the course knowing inventive thoughts methods they are able to function as a starting point for the control system design process and design new products and services. With the responses of the 134 participants, it was possible to draw graphs that showed a deep cultural rootedness that creativity is a gift or talent. It was also verified that the use of Active Methodologies has been something constant, but that needs attention for improvements in some points. In addition to these points, it was also noticed that students are aware that the application of these Active Methodologies entails greater responsibility and maturity on their part, but also makes teaching more attractive. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that creativity is a fundamental pillar for Engineering and should be developed by students, after all, if all problems could be solved by the simplest or easiest method, it would not be necessary Engineers in society to solve their problems.
