The LCV is associated with the Communications Department (DECOM) of the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering (FEEC) at University of Campinas (UNICAMP). The DECOM activities started up around 1970, before being part of the FEEC, when most of its members worked in the communications area. In 1976, the DECOM became part of the Electrical Engineering Department, which has resulted in 1986 to the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEE). This, with the creation of the computer engineering course in 1996, was renamed Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering (FEEC).
