Abstract

The continuous changes in knowledge and technical expertise require that new skills be mastered by the work force. Brazilian universities are urged to ‘reengineer’ their educational programs to prepare professionals for the rapid changes in technology. Several recommendations are made with respect to the educational curriculum methodologies. A strategy is proposed for optimizing the existing potential through the organization of cooperative networks involving universities, R&D institutes and enterprises. These should be organized as ‘business units’ to develop products and services according to partners' goals, and to respond to external demands from Brazilian clients or from other countries. The on-going actions to cope with these issues in Brazil are presented. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
