About
Alexandre J. C. Lanfredi is a dedicated educator and researcher in engineering education, with a particular focus on curriculum design and pedagogical innovation in the Brazilian higher education system. His work examines how students first engage with engineering methods, especially within the unique structure of new public universities. His most cited paper, "Engineering education at a new public university in Brazil: first students’ contact with engineering methods" (2011), explores the introductory discipline at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC), where a common basic curriculum precedes professional specialization. This contribution has garnered 4 citations, reflecting its value in discussions about early-stage engineering training and institutional reform. Lanfredi’s research highlights the challenges and opportunities of implementing broad, interdisciplinary foundations before specialized study—a model that has influenced curricular debates in Brazil and beyond. His work is particularly relevant for educators and policymakers interested in innovative engineering programs, student transitions, and the role of public universities in shaping future engineers. Through his scholarship, Lanfredi continues to contribute to the ongoing conversation about how to prepare students effectively for the demands of modern engineering practice.
