Abstract

This research aims to develop interdisciplinary activities proposed for the curriculum of computer science in the formation of the Technical Agriculture at the Catarinense Federal Institute of Technology that was in line with the local productive systems, providing greater context of technology education in relation to the labor market. There is, through everyday practice, the selection of content for this discipline is carried out without compliance with criteria that address its context and allow the practice of interdisciplinarity, losing the opportunity to bring the student's world of work. To achieve this purpose, it became essential to identify the local productive systems in which the institution is inserted, then when can you identify the needs of local and regional market with regard to technology, culminating in the drafting of a proposed activities for the discipline of Computer that meets the aspirations of the labor market and to promote the practice of interdisciplinarity.
