What Fatec Baixada Santista Rubens Lara does

Fatec Baixada Santista Rubens Lara is a public higher education institution (Faculty of Technology) located in Santos, São Paulo, Brazil, founded in 1986 and operating under the Centro Paula Souza (CPS) system, an autonomous agency of the Government of the State of São Paulo.

It runs on standard educational technology platforms — SIGA for student information, Moodle for learning management, and Outlook-based institutional email — with an internal CPD (Centro de Processamento de Dados) team handling IT support and maintenance.

The institution does not operate a commercial revenue model. It is entirely funded by the São Paulo state government through Centro Paula Souza, with no tuition fees charged to admitted students. Entry is via the vestibular entrance examination, and the primary student segment consists of secondary-education graduates seeking accessible higher-education credentials in technology and business management fields in the Baixada Santista region. Each program is overseen by a designated coordinator, and ancillary services include an academic secretariat, a library with digital collections (Minha Biblioteca), and an internal Web Team that maintains the institutional digital presence.

Its structural relationships include the Government of the State of São Paulo as primary funder and regulator (via the Secretaria de Desenvolvimento Econômico), Centro Paula Souza as the parent administrative and curricular authority, and CIEE (Centro de Integração Empresa-Escola) for student internship and graduate placement services to local and regional employers. It holds MEC (Ministério da Educação) accreditation, the regulatory prerequisite for issuing recognized Brazilian higher-education credentials.
