Resumo: Este estudo analisa a trajetória da educação a distância no Brasil, utilizando os dados do Censo da Educação Superior do INEP. Esses dados mostram como a educação a distância expandiu-se de forma acelerada, conduzida pela iniciativa privada, que detêm, hoje, mais de 90% das matrículas. A educação a distância se destina aos segmentos populares da sociedade brasileira e, por isso, oferece cursos baratos, breves e de baixa qualidade e se concentram nas áreas de formação de professores, administração e serviço social. Nessas áreas, a educação a distância está criando sérios problemas para os cursos presenciais, podendo, mesmo inviabilizá-los ao longo dos anos. Nesse sentido, este trabalho se constitui num alerta sobre os dilemas que a educação a distância está produzindo no Brasil.Palavras-chave: Educação a distância; Educação superior; Privatização da educação. Abstract: This study analyzes the trajectory of distance education in Brazil, by using data from the Higher Education Census of INEP. These data show how distance education has expanded rapidly, driven by the private enterprise, which now holds more than 90% of enrollments. Distance education aims at the popular segments of Brazilian society and, therefore, offers cheap, short and low-quality courses and focuses on the areas of teacher training, administration and social service. In these areas, distance education is creating serious problems for classroom courses, and may even make them unfeasible over the years. In this sense, this work constitutes an alert about the dilemmas that distance education is producing in Brazil.Keywords: distance education; higher education; privatization of education. Resumen: Este estudio analiza la trayectoria de la educación a distancia en Brasil, utilizando los datos del Censo de Educación Superior del INEP.

Recently, universities keep receiving complaints from the industries regarding the capability of engineering graduates when starting their new job. The complaints were always about the inability of the engineering graduates to adapt in the industry. This is due to minimum exposure of industrial training period given by university to them. As a result, most of fresh engineering graduates do not have enough industry experience that is demanded by industry. Worse case, there is mismatching skill during industrial training which not relevance to what they are studied before. This problem contributes to unemployment issue among engineering fresh graduates. The purpose of this paper is to review and analyse about the engineering competencies from all over the world. The paper is written on extensive secondary data analysis. It is revealed that the criteria needed by employers from most developed countries are almost similar. Based on summary, technical and non-technical skills are both important to become a competent engineer. There are some recommendations to develop and improve both technical and non-technical skills that can be emphasized by authorities of higher education especially in Malaysia.

Through the lens of complexity theory and by utilizing the methodological framework set forth in Gander’s 1999 article regarding internal and external organizational elements of administrative intensity, this secondary data analysis study linked the internal organizational elements of administrative intensity to institutional results as evidenced by higher education student retention and graduation rates. Representing institutional investments, efforts, and outcomes from 2004 to 2014, three years of data reporting were gathered from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data Set (IPEDS) and were then cleaned per secondary data analysis techniques. Using canonical correlation analysis, the internal elements of administrative intensity were correlated with student retention and success. Findings indicate the relationships of internal elements of higher education institutions on student retention and success, which was measured by four-year, six-year, and eight-year graduation rates. The discussion includes education policy implications.
