Claudio da Rocha Brito, Melany M. Ciampi, Hilda dos S. Alves COPEC – Council of Researches in Education and SciencesAbstractThe real challenge for all the Engineering Schools lately is to form the professional to act in thenew work market. Nevertheless many Institutions have been searching hard for the best way todo so. Some of them have promoted new kind of curriculum more flexible and more adequate tothe new student. One question remains: How to prepare the engineer for professional life? Forsome it is the internship that will provide the student the taste of what is to be an engineer. InCivil Engineer, the best way is also the internship at the building site if the choice of the studentis to make constructions. For Civil

. Page 14.1111.2Here we should briefly note that there are several different definitions of multidisciplinaryresearch [4], [5], [6]. The terms multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary are often usedinterchangeably, but Borrego & Newswander [3] have provided an excellent discussion of theseterms in the context of engineering education research. They define multidisciplinarycollaborations as those where “collaborators come together to work on a problem, each bringinghis or her own expertise and unique contribution. There is limited exchange of information inthis approach … collaborators leave the project without having learned much about the otherdiscipline(s)” (p.124). On the other hand interdisciplinary collaborations are defined as

The riseof digital manufacturing and the reliance on these technologies to reduce development timewhile improving product design and quality has been exponentially increasing over the past fewyear [2]. The reliance on digital manufacturing by industry has grown as high performancecomputing technology evolves. Recognizing the far reaching implications of this technology onresearch, several government programs in the 1980’s and 1990’s promoted the growth of highperformance computing. Today, programs such as XSEDE promote the use of high performancecomputing to conduct research in multiple fields such as engineering by supporting scholars andresearchers in using these computational resources [3
