tocomplete the curriculum; the emphasis on a strong scientific foundation, etc. But primarily during the last three -decades, the U.S. engineering education model has had a major impact. This situation can be explained by theorigin of several professors and the education of others in the US. Some groups of those professors assumedleadership positions at top universities, and in government and official research agencies. Thus, many Brazilianscientific and educational policies were based on American experience. In Brazil around 40% of total enrollments at the undergraduate level is publicly owned. The majority of
