MAPPING AND PROFILE OF DESIGN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN BRAZIL: A STUDY OF POSTGRADUATE PROGRAMS

Abstract

This research aimed to map and outline the profile of Design as an area of knowledge in Brazil through its current graduate programs, observing the main centers of research and education of new scientists, which in the future will continue the education of new researchers. To this end, the (public) data on the Sucupira platform linked to the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior for the last four years of evaluation (2013-2016) were retrieved. It is concluded that currently the Design as knowledge area develops more intensely in the south and southeast regions and has as main research exponent the UNESP / Bauru and Anhembi Morumbi University, both located in the state of São Paulo.
