It will consist of a final report (internship monograph) and an oral presentation to an examining committee, which will be open to the public.

RULES FOR INTERNSHIP MONOGRAPH

INTERNSHIP

The supervised internship is mandatory in nature and aims to provide students with the real practices of the Food Technologist profession, completing their educational itinerary. It is described in the curriculum in the form of the mandatory subject as "supervised internship", comprising 435 hours (29 credits).

At this stage, the student has the opportunity to improve theoretical-practical knowledge and interpersonal relationships, experience industry and society problem situations, implement, supervise, control and devise technology solutions, and work and lead multidisciplinary teams.

The Supervised Internship follows the provisions of Law No. 11,788, of September 25, 2008, and the Dean's Office of Student Affairs - PRAE, through Joint Normative Instruction No. 01/2016, of December 14, 2016, together with the Dean's Office of Undergraduate Studies - PROGRAD, establish the procedures for the completion and monitoring of curricular internships of courses.

RULES FOR NON-MANDATORY AND MANDATORY INTERNSHIP

EXTENSION ACTIVITIES

The Ministry of Education, through Resolution CNE/CES No. 7, of December 18, 2018, establishes the Guidelines for Extension in Brazilian Higher Education. According to Article 4 of this document, the extension workload must comprise at least 10% of the total student curricular workload of undergraduate courses, integrating the curricular matrix. In addition to this Resolution, the curricular insertion of extension must observe the following guiding documents: Resolution No. 027, of December 11, 2015, of the University Council - CONSUN, which provides for the University Extension Policy of FURG; Resolution No. 29, of March 25, 2022, of the Council of Teaching, Research, Extension and Administration - COEPEA, which regulates the process of curricularization of extension actions at FURG.

Extension activities constitute decisive contributions to students' education, both by expanding the universe of references they provide and by direct contact with major contemporary issues. These results enable enrichment of students' experience in theoretical and methodological terms, while also allowing for the reaffirmation and materialization of the ethical and solidarity commitments of Brazilian public education. Extension in the Higher Technology Course in Food must be articulated with teaching and research, and is understood as an eminently educational, cultural, technical-scientific and pedagogical process.

The Higher Technology Course in Food requires a minimum workload of 240 hours of extension activities. The curricular insertion of extension will be characterized in the PPC through: I. Hybrid subjects, with theoretical and extension workload, totaling 45 hours; II. Extension activities outside the QSL of the course, of a minimum of 195 hours.

Além dos laboratórios de Ensino, também estão alocados na UCA laboratórios de pesquisa, tais como o Laboratório de Análise de Resíduos e Contaminantes, Laboratório de Eletroquímica e Instrumentação, Laboratório de Síntese Orgânica e de Desenvolvimento de Nanomateriais, Laboratório de Desenvolvimento, Análise e Simulação de Processos e de Pesquisa na área de tratamento de efluentes utilizando Processos Oxidativos Avançados.

A monografia de estágio visa o desenvolvimento de um trabalho técnico-científico conduzido conforme metodologia científica e tem por finalidade a produção de conhecimento através da aplicação de conceitos, análise e síntese de experiências e aprendizagens acumuladas ao longo do curso.

O acadêmico deverá demonstrar capacidade de elaborar um trabalho de síntese e integração de conhecimentos na área de Tecnologia de Alimentos, de forma autônoma e independente, sob supervisão de um docente do curso ou um docente da área correlata do campus FURG-SAP.

A monografia de estágio será individual, relacionada com as atribuições profissionais e o seu tema será escolhido juntamente com o professor-orientador a partir da análise e resolução de um problema detectado durante as atividades de estágio, em área correlata ao curso de graduação. Este será constituído por um relatório final (monografia de estágio) e uma apresentação oral para banca examinadora, as quais serão abertas ao público.
