ABSTRACT

This paper aims to present an experiment developed in a technology degree college in São Paulo: the freshmen integration and remedial classes week. This work was developed due to the dropout rate that occurred in several courses. The 50% dropout rate was collected through a sample of the first semester from 2012 to 2014. This college has courses in welding technology, mechanical manufacturing, industrial automation and refrigeration, air conditioning, and ventilation and heating. It is a public college. As they are courses of the area of mechanical engineering, their first semesters consist of calculus, physics, chemistry, statistics, and other disciplines that require solid knowledge background from senior high school. This is not the reality for the profile of incoming students. Ninety-five percent of the students come from public schools. Remedial classes week is comprised of remedial classes on mathematics, motivational lectures, presentation of the academic, and job market area, as well as integration with veteran students, teachers, and coordinators. This work began in 2014 and there was 35% evasion reduction.
