When evaluating teaching departments at a university, there is always the impression of subjectivity, due to the greater or lesser importance attributed to the functions they must exercise: teaching, research and extension. In addition, current models based on weighted sums oblige departments to perform well on all items evaluated, seriously harming those who have a very strong vocation in only one area, such as a strong teaching department, but without research . These two problems are particularly serious when evaluation is used to allocate resources, whether financial, material or human. This article proposes an alternative model based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). This technique compares each department's output with available resources. The attribution of weights to each item is differentiated by department, so that there is no subjectivity and the item with the best performance of each one is valued. In this article, departments of the Technological Center of the Universidade Federal Fluminense are evaluated, considering as resources the number of professors, and as variable products linked to the number of students, number of classes, research and expansion. Models with and without weight restrictions are used.
