ANALYSIS OF THE ACADEMIC FORMATION PROCESS OF PHD’s IN ENGINEERING IN BRAZIL

Resumo

The exodus of individuals for various reasons or circumstances has been growing
significantly in recent years in the Brazilian and worldwide scenario. One of the reasons identified for
this migratory flow is the academic formation of these individuals who seek to qualify in higher quality
educational institutions. Therefore, this work will correspond to the type of qualitative and quantitative
research, whose objective will be to analyze how the scientific exodus of Ph’d engineers occurs in Brazil,
in which individuals from different localities of the country migrate in search of a better academic and
scientific formation. It will be necessary to extract academic data from the curricula of this set of
individuals registered in the Lattes Platform. Thus, the set to be analyzed will be all individuals with
doctorate degree completed in the Engineering Areas. Then, the data will be filtered, selecting the
relevant attributes to the research, and finally the data will be processed in order to find the geographical
location of the institutions in which they trained. As result it will be possible to make a portrait about
how the Brazilian scientific exodus occurs with the set of individuals analyzed.
