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.
