In order to fulfill the objective, it was necessary to inquire about the 2014-graduates’ labor insertion process, the evaluation of the career from the point of view of both the graduates and the professors of the Department, and the relevance of graduates’ academic formation related with the accomplishment of the labor demands and the philosophical framework of the University.
