Abstract
Program created by FACENS to support the training of engineers so they can identify opportunities related to the concept of smart cities. Uses the college campus as a place of prototyping to convert real problems into applicable solutions in an urban context, aligning them with Brazil’s needs and challenges for the coming decades. The focus is provide an innovative multidisciplinary learning experience using the campus as prototyping space and support the education of the citizen engineer, through solutions to real problem, in order to multiply them in the urban context supported by innovative thinking and with commitment with the environment, social responsibility and be replicable in others BRIC’s countries.
