SUMMARY:

This thesis presents a historical analysis of the creation and development of the Production Engineering Course at the Regional University of Cariri (URCA), taking as a starting point the year 1993, when the first movements in favor of the creation of the course took place, until the present moment, on the eve of completing 30 years of its existence. The thesis establishes the understanding that, from a historical perspective, the functions and social characteristics of the training of production engineers were shaped under the influence of a logic strongly marked by neoliberal ideology, mainly from the last quarter of the second half of the 20th century. Therefore, within the scope of engineering education, the primacy of the production engineering teaching modality is nothing but the finished ideological expression of this neoliberal stage of the pattern of capitalist accumulation, whose mentality, in the last instance, is to serve the market and satisfy its desires. The research is linked to the line “Education, socio-historical and philosophical studies of Brazilian education” of the Graduate Program in Education at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. In the theoretical-methodological framework, under the light especially of the Marxist tradition, the categories of analysis "social classes", "class struggle", "ideology", "hegemony", "neoliberalism", "education and work", which they helped, under the prism of the Marxist tradition just mentioned, to understand the contradictions of classes in the analyzed period. The study resorted to an extensive historiographical reference, sources on the formation of teaching institutions and class entities linked to the teaching and practice of engineering. The research presents reflections on the impacts of neoliberal policies adopted in higher education at state universities in Ceará, which gave rise to the first and only engineering course at URCA in the 1990s. The aim was to understand which actors would respond to the creation of this course in a small public institution of higher education in the context of the Tasso Jereissati era (1995 - 1999) in Ceará and Fernando Henrique Cardoso (1995 - 2002) in Brazil, when hundreds of new courses of engineering were the result of the mandatory requirement of big capital to “produce more in less time”. Contradictorily, the engineering course at URCA -thought to fit perfectly into the institutional design of Ceará's higher education system promoted in the Tasso/FHC era - suffered setbacks throughout its three decades of existence, since it did not match the continuous fiscal adjustment of the State, nor with the entrepreneurial greed for quick and easy returns on public and private investments, essential characteristics of the neoliberal paradigm.
