The current study is the guiding thread of discussion and profile functions coordinator of graduate programs in higher education institutions whose private main objective is to understand the correlation between the formation and the performance of Engineers such as taking a parameter for analysis of some private HEIs Fortaleza. The research proposal has emerged from our experience of over ten years, working in coordination of undergraduate courses in Private Higher Education Institution. During this practice we realized that the changes in recent decades, including in the education sector have created a need to seek professionals with new training profiles able to meet the social and educational demands. However, what is perceived in relation to the course coordinator is that there is a marked deficiency with respect to the offering of an academic professional training giving this area a theoretical support which guarantees efficiency and functionality in their activities. Building upon this reality launched the following question: just practice is sufficient for good performance of the course coordinator in the performance of his duties or training is required a priori? To substantiate our considerations we take as a central theoretical foundation the thought of Max Weber concerning the relationship between the ideal and the real kind, together with positions and Tragtenber Buarque de Holanda. For Weber the reality is full of quirks and the social scientist has as its object only a finite fragment of this reality, but the response to the specific problems lies in the historical understanding of a certain objectivity in drafting the ideal types through which it seeks to make understandable the particular nature of certain phenomena. Here lies the analysis of causal relationships tended as certain values of both the researcher and the researched object. Bringing this thought from Weber to our subject we can talk about the relationship between the ideal type of the course coordinator and the phenomenal that is presented in practical reality. As a methodological approach, we decided to conduct documentary research to build an ideal profile of a trader from the following data: the Lattes curricula of 28 coordinators three courses HEIs and questionnaires with eight engineers, in which we highlight the characteristics and shares of the course coordinator, as they became engineers, preparation for such action and the difficulties encountered in their practices. The results confirmed our assumptions, especially which is concerning the absence and the need for a specific training course coordinator for the exercise of their functions. Such training can not only provide better performance of the course coordinator, but also the optimization of academic work as a whole, favoring the HEIs and, above all, students should be the cornerstone of the educational process.
