RESUMO

Objetivo: Há uma demanda no desenvimento da qualidade da formação dos engenheiros. Contudo, surge uma questão: quais são as competências desejáveis aos engenheiros de gestão? Este artigo apresenta as competências recomendadas aos engenheiros de produção. Medodologia: O método utilizado envolveu uma revisão sistematizada de 42 artigos indexados nas bases Scopus e WOS em busca de competências do engenheiro de gestão. As competências encontradas na literatura foram então comparadas com aquelas listadas por associações de engenharia. Resultados:  Foi encontrato um conjunto de 29 competências recomendadas aos engenheiros de gestão nos artigos analisados. Somente 23 competências são mencionadas em associações de engenharia, tais como: ABET, IEA, NAE e NBA. Também foi possível observar uma ênfase nas habilidades comportamentais.  Originalidade: Esse artigo preenhe uma lacuna no tema, já que não foi encontrado na literatura um trabalho que compare as competências encontradas na literatura com aquelas listadas por associações de engenharia. Implicações para teoria e prática: Os resultados podem ser valiosos para pesquisadores em educação na engenharia e profissionais que atuam no ensino superior como suporte para trabalhos no desenvolvimento da carreira dos estudantes de engenharia de gestão.

 

ABSTRACT

Paper aims: There is a demand for quality development in forming engineers. However, a question is still alive: what are the competences cited as desirable for management engineers? This article presents the competencies for management engineers. Research Method: The method used was a systematic review covering 42 articles published in journals indexed in Scopus and WOS looking for management engineering competencies. The competencies mapped in the literature were then compared with those listed by engineering associations. Main Findings:  It was found a set of 29 competencies mentioned in the articles analyzed as desirable ones for management engineers. Only 23 are also mentioned by professional associations that defines engineering competences, alike: ABET, IEA, NAE and NBA. It is also possible to observe an emphasis on awareness skills. Originality: This article covers a gap in the subject, once it was not found in the literature a previous work that compare the competencies mapped in the literature with those listed by engineering associations. Implications for theory and practice: The results should be worthy for both: engineering education researches and higher education professionals as support for their work in developing the professional career of management engineering students.
