Many students do not engage with reading the scientific literature, which is a core skill in undergraduate students. The learning environment has an important impact upon learning. It was postulated that taking reading out of the formal learning environment might impact upon students’ willingness to engage with the literature, and confidence in doing so. A staff-student research partnership initiative funded by Kingston University allowed this hypothesis to be tested. Three Tea Club sessions, informal drop-in reading sessions were offered in a student-owned space within the Students’ Union. Refreshments were supplied, aiming for a ‘coffee house’ feel. Although the numbers of students who engaged with the Tea Club were small, evaluations were positive. In particular students valued the opportunity for peer learning. However the chosen environment was too noisy. Future sessions will be offered within a different, less noisy environment with facilities for refreshments, and will be offered throughout the academic year to facilitate student engagement.Keywords: Learning environment, peer support, extracurricular, scientific reading

INTRODUCTION: The economic and social development of Brazil in the last decade has contributed to the installation of new graduate and undergraduate programs, as are the case with bachelor degrees in Biochemistry at UFV, UFSJ and UEM. These graduates are prepared to work in industry, research institutes and universities in areas of knowledge involving Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. This is happening in developed countries since the first half of the last century, surprising and late is the implementation of bachelor of Biochemistry in Brazil. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to perform a comparative analysis of the Bachelor in Biochemistry in Brazil from the perspective of the main difficulties of implementing and courses maintenance. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a descriptive research with a qualitative approach. Interviews were conducted with undergraduate students, graduates, professors, staff and managers from bachelor degrees in Biochemistry at UFV, UFSJ and UEM. The sampling procedure was non probabilistic for judgment (choice of the subjects involved and interested in the course of biochemistry) to undergraduate students, graduates, professors and staff and non probabilistic for convenience to managers. The qualitative assessment to depict the representative keywords was performed using words cloud by WordleTM. RESULTS: The study included 5 managers, 24 professors, 12 staff, 25 undergraduate students, 5 graduates. For the students the main reason for the course selection should be scientific vocation and affinity with chemistry and biology; most cited positive parameters were faculty and great structure, practical classes and broad playing field; most cited negatives were high mandatory disciplines, little student free time and lack of sophisticated equipment. Despite the conception of the programs have happened in different contexts and regions we noted similarities deficiencies and distresses. CONCLUSION: Difficulties must be overcome for all courses are structural adjustments in program and physical installation.Keywords: Bachelor, Biochemistry, Brazil.Sponsor: UFSJ

Undergraduate level education has become more complex, due to the environments where the undergraduate students have grown, they develop several kinds of learning styles, generating heterogeneous groups. Software development teaching is very difficult because of that, specifically, it becomes complex because not everyone has the same skills. The study was developed at the Polytechnic University of Pachuca, analyzing the results in two groups of students of the Service Oriented Architecture course. It consisted in the organization and monitoring of software development projects, different techniques were implemented, such as: the software development methodology, project administration formats, learning style diagnosys, based on the application of Neurolinguistic Programming Instruments (NLP) to students of third year. The time invested by each student with respect to the total time ratio of the development team, is a key factor to be considered during project assignment and assessment. It’s shown the results of the application of differents teaching techniques during the learning process.

The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Boardhas defined 12 attributes that an institution must demonstrategraduates of its engineering program possess. We are inpursuit of the attribute "Design” dealing with the students’ability to select candidate engineering design solutions fordevelopment, with three indicators relating to how candidatesolutions are selected. Our approach to teaching “Design” isbased on “learning outcomes” rather than “teaching inputs”.In this paper, we describe the learning outcomes of teaching anewly proposed Integrated User Centered Design (UCD)-Agile Process in the context of a one term project coursewherein teams of undergraduate students apply what theyhave learnt about Agile software development and UserInterface (UI) design in the context of a real-world projectwith actual clients. The Integrated UCD-Agile Processincludes upfront design of the UI in parallel with developmentof the functionalities, UI design specialists for each sprint andusability testing of all UI design decisions

This paper shows our experience at the Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ), in Brazil, developing and using the E-Foto software, one of the main achievements of the E-Foto project that aims to built-up a software tool for teaching digital photogrammetry and software development, to both graduate and undergraduate students, in the fields of Cartographic and Computer Engineering. E-Foto main objective is to diminish the gap that exists nowadays between the teaching of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing in universities and Research Institutions of developing countries and the high-tech expensive systems that are used under the production environment.
