It was first founded in 1910, as the School of Apprentices and Artificers of Paraná (Portuguese: Escola de Aprendizes e Artífices do Paraná). Two decades later, it started acting as a basic education school and was renamed Industrial Lyceum of Curitiba (Portuguese: Liceu Industrial de Curitiba). Later it was instituted together with federal industrial schools, renamed Technical School of Curitiba (Portuguese: Escola Técnica de Curitiba) and then, in 1959, to Federal Technical School of Paraná (Portuguese: Escola Técnica Federal do Paraná). In 1978 it became a Federal Center of Technological Education.[1]
On October 7, 2005, president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva transformed it into the first Federal University of Technology in Brazil. It still acts as a technical high school, classified as the best of Paraná, according the Brazilian education index ENEM.
UTFPR offers Licentiate, Bachelor, Bachelor of Engineering and technology degrees. The cut value for final grades is 6.0 from 10.0, meaning that students must know roughly half of what is taught to earn a degree. UTFPR has signed the REUNI federal pact.[2]
