Quality tools contribute to the technological health of a nation: A Case Study

BRAZILIAN FEDERAL AGENCY FOR SUPPORT AND EVALUATION OF GRADUATE EDUCATION

CAPES Presentation at IEEE Meeting – Brasília, DF March 25, 2008.

22

CAPES• CAPES is a public foundation within the Brazilian Ministry of Education (MEC).

• It is responsible for promoting and evaluating the entire Graduate System of Education in Brazil.

• It is also responsible for the development of higher education, science, and technology in the country.

CAPES Presentation at IEEE Meeting – Brasília, DF March 25, 2008.

23

• One of the greatest scientific databases in the world.

• Created in 2000 by CAPES to reduce regional disparities, allowing online access to outstanding scientific and technological papers produced all over the world.

• It allows access to internationally updated scientific full-text data through any terminal connected to the Internet located at authorized institutions.

OBSERVATIONS ABOUT ENGINEERING AND DEVELOPMENT

The development business needs engineers for their planning and operations.

A good quality Engineer determines the performance of businesses or industries.

The speed of development of the business sector of a nation depends on the availability of highly qualified engineers.

New Law to Guard South Africa’s IP

“The new law is closely linked to the Technology Innovation Agency Act, which provides for the establishment of a public entity to finance individuals and other organisations commercialising their technological innovations and inventions. The department hopes to…. integrate the management of disparate technological innovation initiatives that are still at a developmental stage.

All these initiatives are part of the department's larger Ten-Year

Innovation Plan, aimed at driving South Africa toward a

knowledge-based economy, in which the production and

dissemination of knowledge leads to economic benefits…

Patent Development is Tangible Proof of Innovation

Research indicates that the most successful patents are those that build on scholarly papers

The importance of sci-tech literature in patents is increasing

In fact, patent referencing to IEEE increased 294% in the last ten years!

Libraries Assist Education by Dissemination of Patent Literature

Teaching patent research provides students with a valuable tool for future technological development

A study conducted for American Society of Engineering Educators (ASEE) shows libraries are using patents as teaching tools

“Patents have been used as teaching materials in engineering courses, especially design courses, for at least thirty years.”

Michael White, Queens University Engineering & Science Library, Canada

30

Patents are important in engineering education

78.9% gave one-on-one instruction on using a patent database

57.5% teach patent workshops to undergraduate engineering students

52.5%, teach patent workshops to graduate engineering students

51.3%, reported that patents were included in the engineering curriculum at their university

Michael White, Librarian at the Queens University Engineering and Science Library, Canada, conducted a survey of 40 librarians of the Engineering Libraries Division of the American Society of Engineering Executives (ASEE).

IEEE Journals Are Priced Well Below the Market Average• Each year, journal pricing studies

show that IEEE publications are priced well below market averages.

• The annual Library Journal Periodical Price Survey reveals that the average cost of an engineering journal in 2008 is US $1,919.

• Using the same calculation method, the average price of an individual IEEE journal is just $678 – 65% lower than other engineering journals.
