One of the difficulties faced by students of the Technology Course
in Systems Analysis and Development is the integration of the knowledge
acquired in the course for application in the development
of real systems. This work assesses the use of extension projects to
fill this gap, based on a case study of a real project carried out by
students at IFSC campus Canoinhas, under the coordination of the
authors of this work. The extension project aimed to develop an
information system for managing patients treated by a cancer support
organization named Associação dos Pacientes Oncológicos da
Região de Canoinhas (APOCA). The main result obtained with the
realization of this case study, in addition to the direct benefits to the
community, was the proof of the efficiency of extension projects as
support for integration and interdisciplinarity, from the perception
of the students themselves.
