Conclusions
The project has strengthened the interaction
of students and professors with rural
communities
applying
the
scientific
knowledge in the solution of their needs.
The project puts in evidence two aspects: the
first one, the multidimensional nature of the
project and the second one, the need of
multidisciplinarity in order to act effectively in
the environment.
Conclusions
The training of the future engineers has been
fortified.
The third function of the university: the
service to the community, has been
evidenced.
It has been verified the advantage to have
communities organized to have greater
incidence in the work that is carried out by the
University.
