In this context, engineering education in Brazil has established, through curricular guidelines, a roll of competences to be developed during the undergraduate courses. Based on this legislation, a question arises on the adequacy of these definitions regarding what is actually required to professionals. Thus a survey was conducted with engineers in the work market to verify the adequacy of the established legislation to the competences required in practice. It was observed that technical knowledge is fundamental, and well-developed in educational institutions; however, the management area, although addressed to some degree in the guidelines, is not developed during graduation, becoming a deficiency to be corrected by professional engineers.

Resumo Este artigo propõe o uso de redes neurais artificiais para a previsão do consumo de combustível no alto-forno. Para tanto, foi considerado um conjunto de dados contendo 270 registros, com 19 variáveis de entrada, com base nos dados históricos de operação de um alto-forno no período de janeiro/2016 a junho/2017, e verificou-se que o modelo apresentou bons resultados com coeficiente de correlação de 0,837, consistindo de uma camada de entrada com 19 neurônios, camada intermediária com 19 neurônios e camada de saída com 1 neurônio.
