DEMaEx – Strengthening Bonds

The DEMa-UFSCar Alumni (DEMaEx) was founded in 2001 during the meeting of Materials Engineering Professionals. Since 2019, DEMaEx is an extension activity, being a communication channel between the different generations of professors, students and professionals who participated of DEMa’s activities since its foundation. The DEMaEx's goals are:

  • Mapping the performance of DEMa/PPG-CEM/UFSCar graduates in the labor market.
  • Survey, disseminate and keep alive the history of DEMa and PPG-CEM.
  • Strengthening the interaction between DEMa/PPG-CEM/UFSCar graduates and current students, technicians, and professors.
  • Be a channel to expand the interaction between the productive sector and DEMa.
  • Create new mechanisms to foment cooperation projects between the productive sector and the university.

DEMaEx’s mission

Strengthening the bonds between generations to link the past to the present and build the future.

Prof. Sérgio Mascarenhas Award

Since its foundation, DEMaEx has awarded outstanding students of each materials engineering class. Since 2011, the award received the name of the Prof. Sérgio Mascarenhas (1928-2021), in honor of one of the founders of the materials engineering course and UFSCar itself. Annually, outstanding graduated students are honored. Prof. Sérgio Mascarenhas honored us with his presence in the award ceremonies until 2020. In 2021, the first award in memoriam of Prof. Sergio Mascarenhas will be offered. With this award, DEMaEx aims to honors Prof. Sérgio Mascarenhas in recognition of his contribution to the formation of each bright materials engineer graduated at DEMa-UFSCar.
