Centro Universitário da FEI is a higher education facility in São Bernardo do Campo, Brazil, offering undergraduate degrees in Engineering, Business Administration, and Computer Sciences as well as Master's degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Administration; specialization courses are also offered.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 FEI's academic programs ).〕 It is often ranked among the best Brazilian ''private'' engineering colleges and best ''overall'' in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Science.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Ranking of best Brazilian Automobilistic Colleges )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Brazilian Rank of most reliable engineering and computer science colleges )〕 FEI is an abbreviation for ''Fundação Educacional Inaciana'' (Portuguese for Educational Foundation of Ignatius),〔(【引用サイトリンク】 FEI's Board of Trustees )〕 but had meant in the past ''Faculdade de Engenharia Industrial'' (Portuguese for Faculty of Industrial Engineering). == History == Rev. Sabóia de Medeiros, S.J., founded colleges of business and engineering in São Paulo for the fast-growing industrial sector in Brazil. The Superior School of Business Administration (''Escola Superior de Administração de Negócios - ESAN'') came in 1941 and was then the only business school in Latin America, influenced by the Harvard Business School model.〔〔 The Faculty of Industrial Engineering (''Faculdade de Engenharia Industrial - FEI'') offering a Chemical Engineering undergraduate degree came in 1946. In 1946 also these two colleges joined the Catholic University of São Paulo, later Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo, but remained affiliated only until 1971.〔 In 1963, the Faculty of Industrial Engineering was founded in São Bernardo do Campo, provisionally sharing the city's Industrial Technical School facilities (nowadays ETEC Lauro Gomes). The ceremony was attended by the President of Brazil João Goulart. In 1965, the São Bernardo do Campo campus was inaugurated with a building, and plans for a total site area. At that time, FEI offered undergraduate courses in Mechanical, Electrical, and Chemical Engineering, as well as associate degrees in Automotive, HVAC, machine tools, Textile, Metallurgy, Electronics, and Electrotechnics Operational Engineering. 〔 At that time, Brazil had two categories for the engineering courses, Engineer (''Engenheiro'') and Operational Engineer (''Engenheiro Operacional''), the first with full capabilities and the second with regulatory limitations, yielding to shorter programs and reduced scope. The Operational Engineer career in Brazil was replaced by the Technologist (''Tecnólogo'').〕 In 1969, FEI sought an agreement with the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo and the Instituto Mauá de Tecnologia to improve its admission test (known as vestibular in Brazil), called MAPOFEI, by using essay rather than multiple choice questions. The partnership ended in 1977 when the University of São Paulo decided to merge all admission tests of its many colleges in a single exam conducted by FUVEST, a foundation established for that purpose. FCI, the IT branch, was founded in 1999.〔 Nowadays, the campus at São Bernardo do Campo has 18 buildings on a 24 hectare (60 acres) site〔(【引用サイトリンク】 SBC FEI campus website )〕 and the campus in São Paulo occupies about one hectare (2 acres).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 SP FEI campus website )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Centro Universitário da FEI」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
