Knowing the profile and expectations of young students is important for both the university and its professors. In this study, the aim was to learn and analyze the expectations of production engineering students of a federal university and to show the characteristics of a professional’s performance in this area. A survey was conducted using an on-line form through the ‘Google Drive’ platform, which was made available by email and by online social networks to all students enrolled in the production engineering program of a federal university in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul state, totaling 201 volunteers. A questionnaire was developed with ten objective questions and alternative semi-directed answers, involving questions of the students’ profiles and expectations. The results highlighted the importance for the university of knowing the profile and expectations of the students, enabling the search for solutions, in balance with the marketplace, for constant improvements of the program.
