History

School of Technology of Amazonas

The University of the State of Amazonas was previously called University of Technology of Amazonas ( pt, Universidade de Tecnologia do Amazonas or UTAM). UTAM was established by a state law in 14 of December 1972. A posterior law, of 10 of October 1977 turned the university in an institute, but it remained called as university. The creation of UTAM started with an educational policy, created by the Governor of the State of Amazonas, Colonel João Walter de Andrade, that observed the insufficiency of technicians for industry. Since its foundation in 1973, UTAM has offered courses in Operational Engineering (Wood, Mechanic, Electronic and Electrotechnical), Mechanic Maintenance, Civil Construction, Topography and Highways. In 1977, the Ministry of Education abolished Operational Engineering so the administrators of UTAM started to offer courses of Technology at a Superior level. In 1986 UTAM started an Engineering course. The course in Data processing started in 1992 and Computer Engineering started in 1997.

Transformation to UEA

In 2001 the Mayor of Manaus signed a law that turned the University of Technology of Amazonas into the University of the State of Amazonas. It has campuses in 17 cities of Amazonas. In 2011 it was the best university of the north region of Brazil, according to a Ministry of Education exam, called ENADE.

Admissions

There are two forms to enter UEA. * SIS (Sistema de Ingresso Seriado - Serial Admission System) is an exam that the students take at high school. It consists of three exams, one per high school year. At Brazil, High School takes three years to be finished, also called as "Ensino Médio" in Portuguese. * Vestibular (the name of the Admission exam) is made of two exams on consecutive days. The first exam is about general knowledge and the second one is about specific knowledge. However, the Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM - National High School Exam) can be used to replace the grades of general knowledge exam if the grades of ENEM are higher than the first exam.

Campus

The structure of UEA is divided into Superior Schools (located in Manaus) and Center for Studies.
