In Civil Engineer, the best way is also the internship at the building site if the choice of the student is to make constructions. For Civil Engineering the work force has an important role in the accomplishment of building a house or a skyscraper or any other engineering entrepreneurship in modern cities. Added to this among the challenges to be faced today by the developing countries are the changes in the extent of the production stimulated by new technologies and the impact of such changes in the education field occupy the central point. It is in fact part of a huge research in Civil Engineering in a very deep analysis of its history in the construction of a city in Atlantic Forest Region. It is worth to stand out that the relationship among learning and the workers' education level of the building site in Praia Grande city is approached through information picked in the workers' speech adding to the records of building companies. "Knowing how to do" of those workers happens in the building site and it is part of a structure of occupations, in which unqualified workers apprehend an occupation side by side with more experienced workers.
