The present report addresses the experience of four proposals that constitute the Reception Program for students entering higher education, considering the need to welcome the incoming students and facilitate their adaptation in a Federal Public Institution, which offers courses in six areas of Engineering. The four proposals are: New Counseling Project; Educational Guidance Support; Reception Support; and a mandatory Discipline that was already offered, called Colloquiums (FND-01) and that now, in view of the peculiarities imposed by the pandemic, is having a broader integrating character. The Reception Program was implemented and endorsed by the academic community of the Institution, which indicated its feasibility and continuity. The experience reveals the importance of the overall strategy as a way to support the adaptation and integration to higher education, in the face of the challenges experienced by new students. We aim for the academic space to become a positively challenging and conducive environment for the development of diverse skills, increasingly required in the training of engineers.
