Federal Institute of Rio de Janeiro

The story began in 1945 with the creation of the Vocational Industrial Chemistry Technician (CTQI). Since February 1942 the Decree Law 4,127 / 1942 provided in Article 4, the creation of a Chemical Technical School. However, only on 16 August 1943 by Decree-Law was formally established the course by the National School of Chemistry at the University of Brazil, current Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. This course worked on the premises of that University from 1944 to 1946, but soon after, even without the administrative link was changed, the course started to work in space provided by the School National Technical (ETN), current Federal Center of Technological Education Celso Suckow da Fonseca (CEFET-RJ) in Rio de Janeiro. Only on February 16, 1956, promulgated the Law 3,552 / 1956, Second Organic Law of Industrial Education, was created the Federal Technical School of Chemistry of Rio de Janeiro (ETFQ-RJ), a government agency with the mission to offer the Technical Course Industrial Chemistry.

Facade

For four decades the institution remained working on the premises of TNCs with Course Industrial Chemistry Technician. The facilities were expanded classrooms and more laboratories in 1977. In 1981, after expansion of its facilities, the ETFQ-RJ, following the process of industrial and technological development of the nation, began the upgrade and expansion of its courses, creating Course Food Technician. The year 1986 marked the achievement of a headquarters in the Maracanã neighborhood, municipality of Rio de Janeiro and in 1988 the creation of the Technical Course in Biotechnology.

In 1994, ETFQ RJ-founded the Decentralized Teaching Unit Nilópolis (UNED). Initially, they were only offered technical courses, with new facilities, which relied on laboratories for teaching and research, environment rooms, classrooms, library, cafeteria, auditorium, and sports courts. In 1999 ETFQ-RJ had its headquarters moved to Nilopolis and assumed new responsibilities, to be transformed into the Federal Center of Technological Education Chemistry - Chemistry CEFET / RJ. The transformation in higher education institution allowed to offer undergraduate and graduate together created with the Scientific and Cultural Centre, a space for training and teacher training, dissemination and popularization of science and its interactions with the various human activities. In 2005, the Chemical CEFET / RJ expanded offering sensu post-graduation courses.

The Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio de Janeiro - IFRJ - was established pursuant to Law 11,892, of December 29, 2008, then part of the Federal Professional Education Network, Science and Technology as federal Institute of Education, science and technology (IFET). By law, the transformation of the Federal Center of Technological Education of Nilópolis Chemistry (CEFE Nilópolis-RJ Chemical), followed by integration of the Agricultural College Nile, until then linked to the UFF were attached to IFRJ campuses. Other institutions were also being integrated as Advanced Center of Arraial do Cabo and the Advanced Center of Duque de Caxias.
