The article aims to recover the reading of Some truths about our labor laws, by Aguinaldo Costa, an engineer from Pernambuco based in São Paulo and a writer inserted in editorial movements led by Caio Prado Júnior in the 1940s. The book was published in 1945, at the end of the Estado Novo, as a critique of the hypothesis of worker incapacity as well as to the idea of rights concession. This empirical research is focused on the qualitative analysis of sources from the 1930s and 1940s, relying especially on procedures of content analysis. The opposition of Aguinaldo Costa to the works of Cesarino Junior and Oliveira Vianna will be emphasized. As a conclusion, we seek to revise an idea deeply rooted in the contemporary Brazilian intellectual field, that the first critical interpretations of the concession representation were only coined from the 1950s on.

the article revolves around a case study on the trajectory of three engineers, in their initial training, their professional activities as engineers and their career towards teaching in higher education, looking for issues that circumscribe the choice of the profession, the professional activities of women engineers, and indications to reflect on the small number of women who are looking for training and stay in the labor market as engineers. The methodology used was the discursive textual analysis based on a priori and emerging categories, resulting in five categories involving the choice of the profession, the working environment, the study environment, cultural/generational issues and displacements. As a reflection, it was observed that the percentage of women who opt for the area of the exact sciences, in the region of Serra Gaúcha, is greater than the national percentage. Just as many of the experiences narrated meet the culture of the region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The reworking, the lack of compatibility in the projects and delays are some of the problems in the construction industry. Companies have been reevaluating their management methods, seeking new tools that minimize these obstacles. BIM is a concept that allows to analyze all the processes of the building through a virtual model, before being built. The objective of the work is to demonstrate the feasibility of this technology and contribute to its dissemination. For the study, three research methods were used: analysis of the CBIC collection - Implementation of BIM for Builders and Developers; Open BIM seminar where the comments of the speakers were discussed and the cases of success of BIM use and; use of a questionnaire applied to engineers, architects and designers. The evaluation was positive even with the difficulties in the implementation of BIM. The use of BIM in the management of works, generates more control and prevents adversities during the construction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article explores the process of construction of the Cedro Weir between 1884 and 1906 and the expectations about its construction. In 1884, the Water Reservoir Commission and its entourage of engineers arrived in Ceará province, with the purpose of building a "great reservoir" that would definitively solve the drought problem, develop agricultural practices and improve the people's lifes. The Quixadá hinterland was chosen to house this great hydraulic monument. People with different experiences, from many parts of the country and abroad went toward there, however, in the course of construction, there were countless criticisms and difficulties in completing this public work: deficient transportation, shortage of labor, among others. In addition, the Government's desire to obtain profitability with the Cedro weir's waters did not materialize immediately. In this way, over time the expectations of government authorities and engineers have reduced the initial proposals of the water Project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: The aim of this study was to predict the creativity of the engineers of Kermanshah Engineering Organization based on their personality and mental health factors. Method: This study was performed with Pearson correlation and multiple regressions, Cranach's Alpha coefficient, SPSS software version 20. A total of 375 engineers were selected based on Morgan table that completed 3 types of questionnaires: Torrance questionnaire (verbal section), (NEO-FFI) questionnaire and GHQ-28 questionnaire. The significant level in this study was considered as 0.05. This study was descriptive and correlation based. The sampling method was random. The study was a descriptive – correlative. Result: Correlation and regression analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between creativity (fluidity, flexibility, innovation, expansion) with five factors of personality (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Conscientiousness, Openness, Agreeableness) and mental health (physical symptoms, anxiety and insomnia, depression, social function). So regression analysis showed that personality factors (neuroticism, extraversion, flexibility) are better models to predict creativity.

This text about the engineer-educator José Yvan is based on the interface between history and biography. Graduated in Mining Engineering from the Federal University of Paraiba, in 1987; In 1993, he joined the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Norte. This engineer worked for 26 years as a professor and researcher in the area of mineral technology, also working as dean of research and editor of scientific journal. José Yvan died on June 10, 2019. From the perspective of historical biography within the meaning of Le Goff and aimed to study how José Yvan Pereira Leite is constituted as an engineereducator. The engineer-educator is one and the other, at the same time is noun, is proper, is epistemic. From these it is considered that, as engineer-educator Jose Yvan was multiple, intense, ingenious, of course! He was a man of reason and sensitivity, a sower of dreams and a hope collector. José Yvan, live!. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Analisa a atuação de engenheiros na constituição da infraestrutura viária de Minas Gerais entre as décadas de 1840 e 1880. Construir estradas e pontes e conservá-las com regularidade foi tarefa desempenhada pelo governo provincial mineiro que, desde a década de 1830, contava com repartição voltada para projetar, edificar e manter vias de comunicação consideradas públicas. Os engenheiros inseriram-se nessa agência desde sua fundação, atuando de forma significativa na elaboração de projetos e na execução direta de determinadas obras. O estudo fundamenta-se na documentação administrativa que relatava ao governo provincial detalhes do andamento das obras. O acervo gerado no transcurso das intervenções oferece informações técnicas, administrativas, financeiras, da mão de obra e dos agentes envolvidos com as construções.The article analyzes the role played by engineers in the construction of road infrastructure in Minas Gerais between the 1840s and 1880s. Building and providing regular maintenance for roads and bridges was a task carried out by the Minas Gerais provincial government, which since the 1830s had a specific agency assigned to designing, building, and maintaining public communication routes. Engineers were part of the agency from its inception, playing a significant role in designing projects and in the actual execution of certain works. The current study is grounded in administrative documentation in which the details of work progress are reported to the provincial government. The gathered records provide technical, administrative, and financial information, along with data on labor power and the agents engaged in construction works.

This paper examines interpretations of the drought problem in Brazil's northeast sertão during the First Republic. It compares analysis of drought as primarily a natural or climatic phenomenon – embraced by civil engineers working for the Inspetoria [Federal] de Obras Contra as Secas (IFOCS) – with analyses emphasizing social and political conditions that made drought a crisis for the sertanejo poor. The latter are evident in the report of doctors Belisário Penna and Artur Neiva describing their expedition through the sertão sponsored by IFOCS in 1912. This comparison allows for consideration of the intersection between natural (geographic, climatic) and social (political, cultural) factors that produced the region's periodic crisis. The analysis is informed by the work of social scientists who highlight the multi-dimensional causes underlying natural disasters in politically marginal communities. Technocrats' faith in the context-independent utility of their expertise lay at the heart of IFOCS's ultimate failure to rescue sertanejos from famine, migration and poverty. Because the drought agency's technical personnel never had the political will or muscle to confront the social organization underlying the sertão's recurrent calamity, their ability to alleviate the human suffering that droughts precipitated was severely limited.

A história da administração pública no sul do Brasil durante a Primeira República põe em evidência uma instituição de formação superior, a Escola de Engenharia de Porto Alegre, que, fundada em 1896, forneceu parte significativa dos quadros técnicos das secretarias e agências do estado nas décadas seguintes, notadamente da Secretaria dos Negócios de Obras Públicas (SOP). Neste artigo (1) faremos uma breve exposição do cenário político-institucional no sul do Brasil na transição do século XIX para o XX; (2) apresentaremos as linhas gerais do processo de organização da Escola de Engenharia de Porto Alegre; e (3) discutiremos alguns aspectos do percurso profissional, administrativo e político de seu grupo original de docentes e de seus primeiros diplomados.The history of public administration in Southern Brazil during the so-called "First Republic" includes an institution of higher education, the School of Engineering in Porto Alegre, that was founded in 1896 and provided a major part of the cadre of technicians of state departments and agencies in the following decades, particularly of the state's Department of Public Works. In this paper the author (1) briefly discusses the political-institutional scenario in Southern Brazil during the transition from the 19th to the 20th century, then (2) sketches the process of organization of the School of Engineering in Porto Alegre, and finally (3) presents some aspects of the professional, administrative and political career of the School's original group of professors and its first graduates.

En la Argentina, el Estado financió, construyó y operó los ferrocarriles estatales guiados por un criterio de subsidiariedad hasta el primer gobierno de Yrigoyen (1916-1922) en que se introdujeron cambios y se modificó parcialmente la orientación de la política ferroviaria. Los Ferrocarriles del Estado contribuyeron al desarrollo de la ciencia, su demanda de profesionales ayudó a la formación del campo profesional de los ingenieros y la conexión de las capitales de las provincias del centro y norte facilitó las comunicaciones y las tareas científicas, en particular aquellas que estudiaron las enfermedades endémicas del país.In Argentina, the State financed, built, and ran government-own railroads based on recourse to subsidies until the first Yrigoyen administration (1916-1922), which introduced changes and shifted the direction of rail policy somewhat. The Ferrocarriles del Estado contributed to the development of science, created a demand for professionals which helped form the professional engineering field, and, by linking the capitals of central and northern provinces, facilitated both communications and scientific tasks themselves, especially research into diseases endemic to the country.
