Abstract

This article describes some of the procedures for the execution of an online English-Portuguese glossary prototype in Eletrical Engineering / Eletrotechnical Field terminology aimed mainly at beginner students from technical and graduation courses in Electrical Engineering. The methodology is comprised of a corpus of datasheets, documents often used by professionals of the Electrical Engineering area, and the comparison of data obtained from these datasheets with the data gathered from 108 students of Electrical courses. Results point to the relevance of considering the point of view of our target audience to build the glossary properly.
