Abstract

In this work we present the design and implementation of a model for electrical engineering introductory disciplines based on two basic parts. First one refers to a pedagogical study, in which some pedagogy basic concepts were studied, learning theories, cooperative learning advantages, learning and teaching styles and care in discipline preparation. Second refers to a study over other educators experience in introductory disciplines, checking for its main characteristics, the contents, used resources, people involved and obtained results. From these studies a model for introductory disciplines in electrical engineering was proposed, with the objective of motivating and preparing the new student for the engineering course, professional work and society considering the modern globalization. One example of proposed model was the implementation of SEL-300 introductory discipline structure - professional information in electrical engineering, from electrical engineering course of Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos, University of São Paulo. Obtained results from this experience indicated the model to be adequate for introductory disciplines. Details as contents, used resources, involved people and this example results are presented. (AU)
