Desenvolvimento de sistema integrado de culminação de estudos (SICE)

Abstract

Currently, the process of completing studies in the Department of Mathematics and Informatics at the Faculty of Sciences at UEM is characterized by fragmented and predominantly manual management, which generates significant challenges not only for students and teachers, but also for the institution itself. Students face difficulties such as the complexity in identifying supervisors, delays in the approval of topics, and inefficient communication between the various stakeholders. At the same time, the institution lacks essential metrics for informed decision-making, not having real-time data on the stage of development of the work, the number of students ready for defense, or those who are without assigned supervision. An additional challenge lies in the weak arti culation with partner institutions for the realization of professional internships, a modality with doub le benefit: for students, it represents an opportunity to apply knowledge in real contexts and to enter the job market; for companies, it constitutes a strategic advantage by allowing the resolution of concrete problems through interns who will potentially become future employees, with the possibility of evaluating them during the internship period. With the aim of overcoming these limitations, the development of the Integrated Study Culmination System (SICE) is proposed, a digital platform that aims to centralize and automate the management of the entire final academic process. The methodology is based on a rigorous requirements survey with users and the application of Software Engineering principles to create a robust, scalable and secure solution. The expected results include a significant reduction in bureaucratic procedures, improved academic monitoring, strengthened interaction between the university and the business sector, and, fundamentally, the provision of analytical tools to the institution that support data-driven management, culminating in a more efficient, transparent course completion process aligned with the needs of the job market.
