The Federal University of Campina Grande ((ポルトガル語:Universidade Federal de Campina Grande), UFCG) is a public university whose main campus is located in the city of Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil. Together with the Federal University of Paraíba, it is the main university of the state of Paraiba, Brazil. Established after splitting from UFPB in 2002, it is one of the leading technological and scientific production institutes of northeastern Brazil, being mentioned in a 2001 edition of the Newsweek magazine as a technopole - among 9 other around the world - that represents a new vision for technology. It was again quoted in 2003 as the Brazilian silicon valley. ==History== The Higher Education in the State of Paraiba has its origins in the creation of its first high education school, the Northeastern School of Agronomy, in 1934, in the town of Areia. In the 1950s, a government initiative called "integration of the technical-industrial development of the State", made Campina Grande a new scientific and cultural center in Paraiba, which made possible the creation of the Polytechnic School - The embryo of the UFCG. It focused on finances and business applied to regional markets. Funding from the government provided the structure and equipment for the institute, and foreign companies gave endowments. In 1955, there were eleven Higher education institutes in Paraiba. The Universidade Federal da Paraiba was established in December 1960, by state law nº 1,366. Its federalization was installed by law nº 3,835. In 1973, the university council approved the reform of the academic structure of the institution, in resolution nº 12/73, accordingly with decrees nºs 53 and 252, and law nº 5.540. In 1963 the Polytechnic school started to offer an Electrical Engineering degree, held by the faculty of the Civil Engineering department. From this year on, there was an influx of professors from the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE), and the Aeronautics Technological Institute (ITA) in São Paulo, with whom the university maintained close bonds in the 1960s and 1970s.〔(Historia do Dee ).
