Graduated in civil engineering from Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (2013), having attended a semester at Sungkyunkwan University, in South Korea. She received a Master's degree in Civil Engineering and a Doctorate in Civil Engineering at the same institution, addressing the durability of concrete and self-healing concrete, respectively. She is currently a professor and researcher at itt Performance Technological Institute in Performance and Civil Construction at UNISINOS- Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, working mainly in the following areas themes: vertical sealing systems, mechanical and structural performance, technological control of concrete, the durability of materials and construction systems and high and ultra high-performance concrete. She works as a Professor in the disciplines Structural Analysis I, Structural Analysis II, Civil Construction I and II, Strength of Materials, and Mechanics of Solids, in the graduations of Civil Engineering and Architecture at UNISINOS. She is the coordinator of the undergraduate course in civil engineering at UNISINOS and the postgraduate course - lato sensu, pathology and building expertise. She works as a permanent Young Professor at the PPGCI-UFRGS. She guides final course work in Civil Engineering and lato sensu specialization in civil construction and pathology of buildings and performance. She is a reviewer for the IBRACON Magazine on Structures and Materials (RIEM).

Abstract

National Parameters for Undergrad Engineering Programs determine that these programs establish management of learning processes, which are constituted of: (i) definition of competences to be assessed, (ii) definition of instruments for assessment, (iii) assessment of competences, (iv) result analysis, (v) proposition and implementation of improvements in the curriculum and (vi) evaluation of these actions. In this context, developing and implementing such a process to modernize undergrad engineering programs is assumed as a strategy of the program known as Projeto de Modernização da Graduação (PMG), developed at Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS) since 2019 as an initiative of CAPES and Fullbright. Therefore, the management of learning processes constitutes a strategy of PMG, as an instrument of university educational management focused on ensuring the development of student’s learning skills. Thus, the implementation of a learning management process constituted by the collection and analysis of data referring to the learning of the group of students becomes a premise of the Undergraduate Engineering Courses. This process, strongly originated in the Assurance of Learning dimension, which, in turn, comes from the international accreditation movements of business schools around the world, is of interest to the management of curriculums as systematic processes and assessment plans that collectively demonstrate that students achieve competences of learning for the programs in which they participate. The objective of this work is to analyze the implementation of the assessment of learning process at UNISINOS Escola Politécnica, examining its impact on the curriculum management from the program coordinators perspective. This implementation process was designed as a training program for coordinators of the 19 undergrad programs involved aiming at their development as managers of the process and, in the first stage, at the mapping of the curriculum to define the learning competences considered as core specific knowledge in each program. These curriculum maps make the result of coordinators' development visible, not only revealing their learnings in relation to the stages and characteristics of the process, but also making it evident that the process itself ended up being a locus for undergrad modernization, oriented by an authorial and innovative positioning of the University in relation to curriculum management processes. Thus, both the management of the learning process implemented, and its own implementation process triggered a series of transformations, from a curricular level to a university educational management level.
