This presentation is based on a survey conducted with coordinators and former coordinators of university partnership projects funded within the CAPES/BRAFITEC Program (Brazil-France Engineer Technology). One of the most successful programs of the Brazilian Federal Agency for the Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education (CAPES), BRAFITEC enables the creation of cooperation networks among Brazilian and French Engineering Schools. Since its establishment (2002), this collaboration has benefited close to 4,000 Brazilian students within 204 financed projects. This study aims to evaluate BRAFITEC's contribution to: the modernization and internationalization of engineering courses in Brazil; the mutual recognition/transfer of credits; and the establishment of work experience opportunities through internships at laboratories and companies in Brazil and France.
