The internship is compulsory for all students and is seen as an important stage of the learning process and an opportunity for their insertion into the job market. Students are encouraged to seek it as early as possible, taking into account the need for the internship does not impair academic performance. It is very important for learning, for the professional life and for graduate studies. FCI has an Internship Coordination, carried out by Prof. Dr. Vivaldo José Breternitz (coord_fci@mackenzie.br), who seeks to capture and disseminate offers of internship and employment, as well as to guide the students in the development of their professional careers.

Higher education institutions are focusing their efforts to maintain undergraduate courses with more flexible structures, capable to guarantee a transdisciplinary education valuing the human being, preserving the environment, promoting social integration and professional politics. In this sense, Complementary Activities (AC) constitute a way to provide consistent mechanisms to develop these experiences that go beyond classroom learning. Therefore, in 2009, FCI included CA (Complementary Activities) in its Pedagogical Project and it has maintained a coordinator who is available for clarification at the email fci_ac@mackenzie.br.

The university extension is an educational, a cultural and a scientific process that articulates teaching and research in an inseparable way and enables the transformative relationship between university and society, aiming the socialization of academic knowledge. At Mackenzie Presbyterian University, this program is linked to its vision and mission, which, is based on the confessional and philanthropic nature of the Institution. Activities considered as Extension Activities: projects, courses, events, services, consultancy, advisory services, curatorships, monitored visits, publications, and other academic products.

The Institutional Undergraduate Research Scholarship Program (PIBIC) and the Institutional Technological Development and Innovation Scholarship Program (PIBITI), funded by CNPq (www.cnpq.br) or by our University (www.mackenzie.com.br/en/pesquisa.html), grant scholarships to undergraduate students involved in scientific research. The participation of the students in these programs allows additional development to the academic formation, reflecting in their professional future or researcher future in the area of Computing and Systems. The obtained knowledge broadens the student's vision in solving problems through the experience gained during the establishment of objectives and methods to reach the results and products of their research projects.
