This final paper was developed in the Professional Master's Degree in Professional and Technological Education of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Sul (IFRS), which belongs to the Postgraduate Program in Professional and Technological Education in a national network (ProfEPT). It is linked to the research line Organization and Memories of Pedagogical Spaces in Professional and Technological Education (EPT) and belongs to the Macroproject of Organization of Pedagogical Spaces of EPT. It aimed to analyze the asset management of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Sul (IFSul), highlighting tools and forms of control regarding the asset incorporation of permanent movable assets in the Institution, originating from teaching, research and extension projects involving EPT. This is an applied research, descriptive in nature, with an exploratory dimension, which was developed through a qualitative approach, accompanied by a quantitative treatment. To this end, document analysis, bibliographic research and field study were used, in which those responsible for the management and control of the aforementioned assets of each campus and the Rectory of IFSul participated, totaling 14 subjects, since the Gravataí Campus was not involved because the researcher is responsible for the Coordination of Warehouse and Assets. Also involved were pro-rectors, directors, department heads and coordinators responsible for the teaching, research and extension sectors of the 14 campuses and the Rectory. Data collection was carried out by applying a questionnaire to those responsible for the management and control of movable assets and conducting semi-structured interviews with the pro-rectors, directors, department heads and teaching, research and extension coordinators. With this investigation, it was possible to highlight the importance of the asset management of movable assets, considering the current legislation, as an integral part of educational management. Through the control and conservation of these assets, the academic community has adequate objective conditions for the development of the integral education of students, effectively contributing to the improvement of the quality of teaching. The results obtained provided essential support for the production of the dissertation and the educational product that are part of the master's degree course. In addition, the findings contributed to facilitate the understanding of the main concepts and procedures in the execution and reporting of research and extension projects, improve asset management and promote greater efficiency and clarity in the administrative procedures of IFSul, providing useful guidance for both extension workers and researchers. As a direct result, it is expected that such improvements will contribute to the achievement of the educational objectives of educational institutions that offer EPT.
