There is a need to reformulate PPPs for undergraduate courses in order to meet the goal stipulated by the PNE that 10% of curricular credits in Higher Education are linked to extension programs and activities by the year 2020 It is important to emphasize the need for research aimed at and with extension to become effective in the university, and that ...
