Mapping and analysis of undergraduate and graduate Production Engineering courses in Brazil

The University is consolidated as an institution of excellence in all its dimensions, by the cultivation of knowledge in a constant process of construction and reconstruction aiming at the development of culture and thought. Thus, this paper aims to analyze the Brazilian undergraduate and graduate courses in Production Engineering, considering their emphasis, research areas, geographical location, and classification. To this end, a qualitative, quantitative and descriptive study was developed, with a plan to collect information through a literature search of the data available on the websites of the Brazilian Association of Industrial Engineering (ABEPRO) and the Ministry of Education (e-MEC). The study indicates that, although the undergraduate and graduate courses in Production Engineering have improved in the country, their distribution is heterogeneous and their quality falls short of the market's requirements.
