Abstract

The education on Information Technology field has several challenges, since it deals with a dynamic knowledge area and demands a continuous review of the techniques of teaching and learning. Furthermore, the technical/technological courses very often focus on technical disciplines instead of practical ones. For this reason, the students may not be well prepared to the real needs of the labor market. Thus, this paper presents the experience of an extension project that, to change this reality, has offered specific training for its students and a free technical assistance for philanthropic institutions. In addition, it has motivated their participation in scientific events. Among the positive results, it was observed that the students could enlarge their experience by offering computer technical support to the local community and participating of several academic events.
