This work is the description with some details of the Engineering Course of theEngineering Faculty of Catholic University of Santos, in which the students have to developprojects since the first year of the course. In this scheme of education the students can countwith a Professor/advisor to help them during the process of elaboration of the projects. Theirprojects are showed in a Congress that happens every year around November. This is a new kindof education that we have named Scientific Introductory Project and that added by Lab worksprovide the students at least five projects of experience that means more research

The engineering graduates that we provide are very important inbuilding and maintaining our manufacturing base, infrastructure and economy.The education that we provide is very important. In the next few years we aregoing to be asked to provide that education at a lower cost, and we are going tohave to make some difficult decisions as to what is most important.In the past, budget crises have come and gone with little impact on faculty. Wehave often had to tighten our belt for a few years, but have been able to stayfocused on the academic issues of teaching and research. In the 2001 recession,state funding was reduced significantly and universities solved the budgetproblem by raising
