Considering the multicampi organizational structure of higher education institutions (HEIs), the expansion of photovoltaic (PV) systems previously installed in the facilities, the great potential for PV generation in Brazil, and the 2030 Agenda, the general goal of this research study is to evaluate and promote the expansion of the aforementioned PV systems. For this purpose, the PV system installed at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Piauí comprising a future expansion is characterized by a thorough literature and documentary research. The solar resource available at the campuses of the institution was estimated using the second version of the Brazilian Atlas of Solar Energy. The technical–economic viability of the system expansion is assessed through the average parameters and minimum performance indexes required by the institution. Thus, it is possible to prove the effectiveness of the methodology to identify investment priorities and guide the construction and expansion of other PV systems, confirming that this process is technically and economically feasible as associated with strategic adherence, also bringing several environmental benefits.

Purpose This paper aims to analyze strategies that promote sustainability in higher education institutions (HEIs), focusing on the case study of a federal institute of higher education in Brazil. Design/methodology/approach The research was based on a scientific literature review on sustainability in HEIs, to identify the recurrent actions for sustainability in these institutions; and a case study of a federal institute of higher education in Brazil, to illustrate how these actions are being implemented by HEIs. Findings Concerns about sustainability, prompted by the Brazilian federal legislature, led federal HEI to change its internal processes, infrastructure and organizational culture toward sustainability. Practical implications The findings presented in this study, more specifically the sustainability plan of the Federal Institute for Education, Science and Technology of Santa Catarina, aligned with the recommendations proposed, can be used and replicated in other HEIs. Originality/value Scientific literature about organizational changes led by sustainability concerns, in HEIs specifically, still needs more attention in the academia. By addressing the case of a Brazilian public institution of higher education, this paper contributes to the literature on sustainability in higher education by reporting the process of implementation of a sustainability plan.

The National High School Examination (ENEM) is an evaluative and selective tool for students to enter higher education. The Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology (FIs) are institutions created by the Federal government with the objective of training competent professionals. The purpose of this study is to compare the content of the Physics questions of the National High School Examination (ENEM) between the years 2014 to 2018 with the curriculum content of the technical chemistry course at the Federal Institute of Amapá (IFAP). The teaching of physics in the technical course in Chemistry at IFAP does not present a division that prioritizes the subjects most present in ENEM. ENEM usually contextualizes its questions. This could be a common practice in high school physics, as it would help in your better understanding. In addition, it is necessary not to fragment the content during teaching, nor as its composition with other subjects. The IFAP technical course would not be the appropriate place of study for those who just want to finish high school. The content goes beyond what is required, but with cutouts focused on the technical part, including laboratory practices and strictly technical disciplines. The absence of interdisciplinarity and contextualization makes it difficult to absorb the content, forming students with difficulty in thinking about physics.

A evasão é um dos males que aflige a todos os tipos de instituições de ensino e tem assumido preocupantes proporções no âmbito das Instituições de Ensino Superior –IES. Este estudo surgiu do interesse em conhecer como esse fenômeno se manifesta no Curso de Engenharia Civil do Instituto Federal de Minas Gerais – Campus Avançado Piumhi. Com o intuito de investigar as causas da evasão nas turmas que ingressaram no período de 2014/2 a 2018/1, procedeu-se à análise do perfil do estudante evadido, a partir da realização de testes estatísticos com dados fornecidos pelo registro acadêmico do curso. Os resultados sinalizam que, em sua maioria, o estudante evadido é homem, solteiro, oriundo de escola pública, reside com seus pais e possui renda familiar de até três salários mínimos. Dessa forma, buscou-se a compreensão da complexidade das relações que se desenvolvem no ambiente acadêmico e que podem vir a serem causadores desse fenômeno. Depreende-se, a partir das análises realizadas, que a questão socioeconômica é um fator que influencia direta e indiretamente na decisão de evasão do estudante. Palavras chaves: Evasão. Retenção. Engenharia Civil.   Evasion in the civil engineering bachelor’s course of the Federal Institute of Minas Gerais – advanced Piumhi Abstract Evasion is one of the ills that afflict all types of educational institutions and has assumed alarming proportions in the context of Higher Education Institutions -HES. This study arose from the interest in knowing how this phenomenon manifests itself in the Civil Engineering Course of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Minas Gerais – Piumhi Advanced Campus. In order to investigate the causes of evasion in the groups that entered the period from 2014/2 to 2018/1, proceeded to analyze the profile of the evade student, based on statistical tests with data provided by the academicrecord of the course. The results indicate that, for the most part, he is a man, single, from a public school, resides with his parents and has a family income of up to three minimum wages. Thus, we sought to understand the complexity of relationships that develop in the academic environment and that may be the cause of this phenomenon. It can be inferred from the analyzes made that the socioeconomic question is a factor that directly and indirectly in the student's avoidance decision today. Keywords: Evasion. Retention.

Choice of profession is a social phenomenon that every person has to face in life. Numerous studies convince us that not only the well-being of a person depends on the chosen work, but also his attitude to himself and life in general, therefore, the right and timely professional choice is very important. Research about factors of career self-determination of students of higher education institutions in Ukraine shows that self-determination is an important factor in the socialization of young person, and the factors that determine students' career choices become an actual problem of nowadays. The present study involved full-time and part-time students of Institute of Philology and Mass Communications of Open International University of Human Development "Ukraine" in order to examine the factors of career self-determination of students of higher education institutions (N=189). Diagnostic factors of career self-determination of students studying in the third and fourth year were carried out using the author's questionnaire. Processing of obtained data was carried out using the Excel 2010 program; factorial and comparative analysis were applied. Results of the study showed that initial stage of career self-determination falls down on the third and fourth studying year at the university, when an image of future career and career orientations begin to form. At the same time, the content of career self-determination in this period is contradictory and uncertain, therefore, the implementation of pedagogical support of this process among students is effective.
