Oportunidades de educação têxtil nos EUA

[EDISON BITTENCOURT]

COMENTÁRIO:  Fala-se  que os  EUA  "exportaram"  sua  indústria têxtil para a  Ásia.No entanto,vejam quantas oportunidades  existem para educação têxtil (  e  áreas  correlatas) nos  EUA, com formação , inclusive, em várias,  no nível de pós graduação. Aqui nesta terra  selvagem ,  onde Macunaíma é  o herói nacional,,  hoje dominada por  bicheiros que compram políticos e juízese  dizem o preço  certo para compra-los, faz-se intervenção  em escola  têxtil  destruindo o pouco que há ,  onde o setor têxtil   caracteriza-se  por  ser  UM DESERTO  DE CÉREBROS.Eu me pergunto para  que serve  a  ABIT que eu acreditava  vinha  se tranformando em algo mais que um local  para tomar um bom whisky , como era  um par de décadas  atrás

Prezado Edison. Sou solidário ao seu inconformismo e sua análise crítica. Lamento pelos problemas aos quais o CITIQT está passando e espero que se possa chegar ao bom senso. Impressionante a lista de instituições por você enumeradas e se fizer esta busca na Europa também vai encontrar muita coisa. Porém, apesar das dificuldades, não podemos deixar de orgulhosamente listar nossas instituições. No nível técnico, o sistema SENAI já fez e ainda pode fazer muita coisa. Eu mesmo posso dizer que se estou nesta área, devo minha introdução neste setor ao SENAI Têxtil de São Paulo.  No nível superior temos hoje várias escolas. São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina e Rio Grande do Norte, são algumas que agora me vem de memória. Não posso deixar de citar a FEI, onde me graduei e hoje leciono. São 45 anos formando engenheiros têxteis. Acredito que seja o mais longevo curso de Engenharia Têxtil do Brasil. Também temos o curso de Pós-Graduação em processos têxteis. Reconheço que a tradição deste curso é por exclusivo esforço e dedicação da Fundação mantenedora da FEI, pois a distância entre as entidades empresariais, tais como a ABIT, e o mundo acadêmico é enorme.
