Ciência, tecnologia e sociedade na matriz curricular de engenharia de computação: o código técnico da dependência tecnológica em engenharia

Abstract

In this research, we aim to critique the Computing Engineering Curricula, version number 844, of the Federal Technological University of Paraná. We work since the perspective that Brazil is a dependent country, and, hence, also underdeveloped concerning scientific and technological production. This analysis, then, is situated in a context of preoccupation with the technical formation in the country, but, mainly, since its ideological aspects. In this context, we try to understand in which way a vision of science, technology and society is constructed during the educational process, as an ideological formation of the students, inasmuch as they qualify themselves as labor force. The analysis will go along with critical commentaries concerning the developments of this ideological formation, always having as a parameter the dialogue with the country’s dependent condition. To do this task, we circumscribe our object inside a theoreticmethodological panorama, on which our analysis will be hinging. By the end of the research, we try to demonstrate, from the epistemic and ideological aspects observed in the educational process we study, since its curricula and general characteristics of the reproduction of formation in public universities, how the formation of the students goes in such a direction that it breeds an ideology of technology, that works in the sense of naturalizing, in the students, the educational process only as labor force formation process, at the same time that it intensifies alienation concerning their class condition, in general, and the country’s dependent condition, more specifically.
