What FUMEP does

FUMEP (Fundação Municipal de Ensino de Piracicaba) is a municipal educational foundation owned and funded by the Prefeitura de Piracicaba in São Paulo, Brazil. It operates four integrated educational units on a single 25,000+ square meter campus: Escola de Engenharia de Piracicaba (EEP) for undergraduate and graduate engineering programs; Colégio Técnico e Industrial de Piracicaba (COTIP), a secondary and technical institute founded in 1967 with over 14,000 alumni; Centro de Pós-Graduação EEP, offering specialization and MBA programs; and Centro de Educação Profissional de Piracicaba (CEPP), which delivers short-duration professional and corporate training courses. The foundation serves higher education students, secondary-technical students, postgraduate professionals, and working learners in the Piracicaba region, with degree programs in civil, production, mechanical, mechatronics, and computer engineering, computer science, and accounting, plus technical certifications in mechatronics, IT, electronics, construction, finance, logistics, mechanics, and quality.

The foundation's educational technology stack includes specialized laboratories shared across COTIP and EEP, a digital library, and a SharePoint-based intranet for staff and student services. It differentiates through research partnerships with IPT, USP, Embrapii, and CASE (notably an R$ 11 million Digital Twins of Sugarcane Harvester project), curriculum-integrated extension projects with the Mirante sanitation concessionaire and BRK Ambiental, and applied learning competitions such as the annual Engineering Challenge with 41 participating teams in 2025. Its revenue model is hybrid: municipal public funding combined with tuition and fees for technical, undergraduate, postgraduate, and short-duration professional courses, priced under municipal education fee schedules and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct institutional enrollment via campus, dedicated unit websites (cotip.com.br, pos.fumep.edu.br, cepp.fumep.edu.br), WhatsApp, phone, and email, with regional concentration limited to the Piracicaba region of São Paulo state.
