This article presents the activities and innovations performed by the inclusion of a Human Sciences subject in the curriculum of a graduate program in the field of Engineering II, according to the Capes classification. The subject was titled “Science History – Nuclear Technology”, and the program is the Graduate Program in Science and Technology of Radiation, Minerals and Materials of the Nuclear Technology Development Center (PPG-CDTN). CDTN is a research institution of the Brazilian Nuclear Energy Commission and is located in Belo Horizonte, in the state of Minas Gerais. The program has master's and doctorate degrees and comprises the areas of Materials Science and Engineering; Physics and Chemistry of Condensed Matter; Physics and Biology in Health; Geosciences and Mineral Technology; and Applications of Nuclear Techniques and Reactors. With this subject, the student is presented with a more humanistic, political and social approach to the evolution of science in the field of nuclear technology. It is intended, therefore, to integrate into the technical training of graduate students a critical vision with values and principles that, possibly, they did not have in their undergraduate education.References
