Abstract

Based on the lack of futures thinking studies for professionals for professionals who wish to innovate and create solutions that will bring an economic and social impact, this work helps the entire university body to prepare and create a desirable future based on Human- Centered Design. The final product meets the expectations of a sustainable world, from the perspective of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals combined with future design tools, regarding the experience of the future professional, employee and professor of the Electrical Engineering Course at the Federal University of Campina Grande. The analysis was based on a design thinking process, within the realization of interviews with the interest groups and the evaluation and treatment of data obtained through them. In addition, there was be a debate on alternatives for futures that are not commonly seen, with the aim of provoking speculation and breaking out of common thought, and the realization of a mini co-creative forum inviting them to create futures from drawings. and newspaper headlines, so that you can investigate the motives and intentions behind these visions projected on paper. The interview questions were based on an approach from the Futures Design Course School of Design Thinking.

With the analysis it was possible to create the four personas that make up the university body, the definition of the intention of the future and future alternatives based on the Wheel of the Future, Cone of the Future, Polarity Map and finally, creation of a Minimum Viable Future. With the analysis, it was possible to project future perspectives of the Undergraduate Course in Electrical Engineering at the Federal University of Campina Grande, creating visions of the course's future and proposing solutions in order to improve everyone's experience and the technological influence of the course in the scenario Brazilian political-economic system.
