This research operationalizes the theory and recommendations from academic and business strategic planning sources. The desired research outcome is to improve academic strategic planning for colleges of engineering. My contribution to the academic planning body of knowledge is a model to select a strategic planning methodology and implement a planning process for colleges of engineering. The model's design is based on the logical conclusion that choice of planning methodology should be matched to desired planning outcomes. The model uses a preplanning instrument, a planning template, and a Gantt Chart. I designed the preplanning instrument based on six success/fail criteria identified from the research, desired outcomes and outputs of the planning process, and selected planning steps from the Virginia Productivity Center (VPC) Planning Methodology. Answers to questions on the preplanning instrument are then summarized on the planning template. The template requires the planner to consider the sequence of the selected planning steps and prepare an agenda to accomplish them. Finally, the model requires the scheduling of this agenda on a Gantt Chart. The Gantt Chart becomes a timetable for a plan to plan for the college of engineering. / Master of Science

Pautados em autores da História Cultural, especialmente em Carlo Ginzburg, buscamos rastros, no sentido atribuído por este autor, que nos ajudaram a construir "o fio do relato" e a nos orientar "no labirinto da realidade" (GINZBURG, 2007, p. 7). Para compor o fio das narrativas, utilizamos rastros deixados em diversos tipos de documentos, como livros, entrevistas, artigos, textos oficiais e escolares, encontrados em diferentes lugares de memória. Os rastros encontrados nos levaram à produção de três textos independentes, que não têm como fio condutor a cronologia. No primeiro deles, adentramos no universo da engenharia no Brasil, buscando identificar tipos diferentes de formação de engenheiros. No segundo texto, composto de duas partes, apresentamos duas narrativas históricas, uma centrada em memórias institucionais e outra em memórias de alguns personagens que fizeram parte do cotidiano da Escola de Engenharia de Pernambuco. O terceiro texto centra sua atenção nas discussões teórico-filosóficas que ocorriam nas primeiras décadas do século XX, particularmente, na visão de Luiz de Barros Freire, que foi aluno, professor e diretor da EEP / Abstract: The central objective of this investigation was to study the characteristics of engineers civil-math teachers¿ formation, by Engineering School of Pernambuco State, during the late 19th century and early 20th century. Based on authors of Cultural History, especially Carlo Ginzburg, we look for traces, in the sense attributed by this author, who helped us to build "thread of narration" and guided us "in the labyrinth of reality" (GINZBURG, 2012, p. 1). To compose the thread of the narrative, we use traces left in several types of documents, such as books, interviews, articles, official and educational texts, found in different places of memory. These traces led us to produce three independent texts, which do not have chronology as their guiding principle. In the first one, we enter the universe of engineering in Brazil, seeking to identify different types of training to engineers. The second text, composed of two parts, we present two historical narratives, one centered on institutional memories and the other on memories of some characters who were part of the daily life of the Engineering School. The third text focuses on theoretical-philosophical discussions that occurred in the first decades of the 20th century, particularly, in the vision of Luiz de Barros Freire, who was a student, a teacher and Director of the EEP / Mestrado / Ensino e Práticas Culturais / Mestre em Educação / CAPES
