Memorial descritivo: promoção à classe de professor titular

Abstract

In this memorial, presented to the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Federal University of Uberlândia as a requirement for promotion from Associate Professor Class IV to the Class of Full Professor of the Higher Teaching Career, I narrate the events of my life trajectory that led me to the career of teacher. The Memorial is composed of an introductory text, where I present a discussion about the creation process of this memorial and explain the structure of the text, and by three main parts that were divided according to the important moments for my career. In part 1, I present about my family structure and all the paths I have taken since entering the Civil Engineering course in the early nineties until the conclusion of my doctorate. In the second part, I present my trajectory in academia as a professor at public universities, which begins in the mid-2000s at the Federal University of São Carlos until the present day, acting as a professor of the Civil Engineering course at UFU. The third part is composed of a summary text of the main activities that I carried out at the Federal University of Uberlândia and beyond its walls. Finally, in the final considerations, I reflect on the trajectory presented in this document, which is followed by an appendix composed of several summary tables of all my experience with teaching, research, extension and administration.
