Published date: 12/11/2010
This paper aims to investigate and quantify the science generated by the undergraduate project carried out by Oceanography students from UNIVALI. The data was obtained by interviews with the projects supervisers and search using the CNPq LATES bibliographic production data base. In general, each undergraduate project produced 1.5 scientific contribution, within journal paper, book chapter, proceedings full paper or proceedings abstract categories. This later category was the one that produced the greater contribution. About 10% of the scientific production of the superviser where related to the projects. The results shows that apart from the their objectives, which are driven to the student formation, the undergraduate project also contribute to the science production of the Oceanography Course.
