Accreditation Process
According to Ordinance No. 81 of June 3, 2016, permanent faculty members of the postgraduate program must meet the following requirements: i) develop research and teaching activities in postgraduate and/or undergraduate programs; ii) participate in program research projects; iii) supervise postgraduate students; and iv) have a functional-administrative link with the institution.
The accreditation of a professor to supervise postgraduate students in the program is subject to the following requirements:
a) Have completed as main supervisor, in the last 5 years, a minimum of:
– 2 master’s degree supervisions; or
– 1 doctoral supervision.
b) Have scored a total of five points (5,0) in the last 5 years, according to the scoring table presented below. Some items have an upper score limit to be considered in the sum.
| Product / Project | Unit score | Score limit |
| Journal article* | 1,0 | - |
| International book | 1,5 | - |
| National book | 1,0 | - |
| International book chapter | 0,5 | - |
| Chapter of a national book | 0,25 | - |
| Product or process patent | 1,5 | - |
| Program Registration | 0,5 | - |
| Organization of international event (chair) | 1,0 | 1,0 |
| Organization of national event (chair) | 0,5 | 1,0 |
| Research and development projects** | 1,0 | 2,0 |
* impact factor > 1,0 (ref. Clarivate Analytics JCR) or compatible with Level B2 or higher in the Engineering I area of Qualis/Capes
** only cooperation projects or projects financed by a development agency where the teacher is the coordinator are counted.
Before the start of the first semester of each year, full-time or part-time faculty involved in postgraduate studies are evaluated by the Postgraduate Committee for accreditation purposes for the program. De-accredited faculty may continue to provide guidance, but will continue to act as collaborators.
Newly hired teachers who are on probation are automatically accredited and are subject to a specific institutional evaluation. When duly confirmed, these teachers are also subject to accreditation, to be carried out on the next available date.
The accreditation process is conducted by the Program Board and approved by the University's higher authorities. A detailed analysis of the candidate's profile ensures that he or she is aligned with the strategic objectives of the postgraduate program.
