About Facens
Facens makes history by doing the new. Founded in 1976, was the first Engineering College in Sorocaba City in the State of São Paulo/Brazil.
The institution has been giving students the opportunity to practice everything they learn in theory, training great professionals through excellence. It is a philanthropic institution considered a reference not only in Sorocaba, but also in the State of São Paulo.
Moreover, it is worth pointing out that Facens counts on a pool of faculty members with PhD and / or master’s degree. Many of them have ties or work in the market. As a result of our innovative teaching concept, we bring together the classroom, marketplace and society, fostering local social impact aligned with United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) agenda.

About Sorocaba
Facens University is located in the city of Sorocaba, founded in 1654 and since then it is in a constant process of expansion.
With more than 650 thousand inhabitants, it is a city with the taste of the countryside, but with the modernity of the big city.
It performs an important historical role in the state and country, being a fundamental part in the colonial period of the Bandeirantes, with the movement of the mineral economy, and Tropeirismo, an activity of interconnection of the Brazilian economic poles.
Later, it stood out in industrial development, being known at that time as “Manchester Paulista”.
Sorocaba has several squares, parks, museums and bike paths with many historical and cultural attractions. It is also the seat of a Metropolitan Region, being the most industrialized city in the state.
The proximity of the state capital, São Paulo, benefited the creation of a large industrial park, with dozens of multinational companies from various sectors.
Furthermore, it counts with Parque Tecnológico de Sorocaba, which aims to disseminate the culture of innovation and entrepreneurship for sustainable development in Sorocaba and the region through the articulation between the government, higher education institutions and business and industrial sector, accelerating the transformation of knowledge into wealth.
Strategically positioned, Facens is close to this industrial hub of national, international and multinational companies, many of which are partners of the institution, further enriching the experience of its students.
