The goal of this research was to identify the conception of development of UTFPR Campus Pato Branco, located in the southwest region of Paraná. For this, it was carried out a bibliographical research and field exploration. Data were collected through: documents of the university, as follows: The UTFPR creation law no. 11.184/2005, the Universidade Técnológica Federal do Paraná Statute, the Institutional Political and Educational Project (PPI) and the Institutional Development Plan (PDI 2009-2013); set of interviews semistructered with the leaders of the Campus, with coordinators of the Manager Planning Group of the southwest of Paraná (GGETESPA), and representatives of the Campus Pato Branco in this group. In order to treat the data in the documents were selected some expressions related to the development: local development, community, regional, Paraná state, national, sustainable, economic, political, social, environmental, cultural, scientific and technological. Ideology was a category of analysis that has pervaded the research. The study was organized into three parts. At first, it was tempted to contextualize the southwestern Paraná region, the UTFPR Campus Pato Branco and GGETESPA. After that, the highlight was the emergence of the concept of development in the world and how it has spread in Brazil, inserting itself in various development models. The third part contains the results of empirical research. The results obtained in this research showed a lack of clarity of the Campus related to development, as well as the lack of a consistent policy on institutional development. The demonstrations / performances of the Campus for development are more people-centered and / or in specific courses. Although the speeches of respondents have prevailed entries that show an economistic view of development, the Campus presents relevant initiatives such as the performance of research groups and postgraduate studies, which have contributed to discussions and actions around the development of the southwest of Paraná. It can be concluded that, UTFPR Campus Pato Branco, inserted into the contradictions of capitalist society, is the reflect of these contradictions, revealing the ideology that pervades inside. Speaking in development within a university is to consider how the last one has been influenced, charged by the new needs of capital and how it can contribute to face this reality, showing then, possibilities and limits of the construction of an emancipatory project of education and development.
