Mechanical Engineering

Ano Letivo: 2018/19
  "The mechanical engineer is the most versatile of all engineers"

 

Mechanical engineering is one of the most requested Engineering by the labor market. Its extended training gives it great versatility allowing a quick and easy adaptation to different jobs.

Students may choose to attend the course at daytime or post-work and full-time or part-time.

        

ECTS: 180
Location: Abrantes.

Objectives

Provide a solid scientific, technological and social learning, supported by a programme and courses that includes contact with real situations and laboratories experiences. This cycle of studies is based on the development of a diverse set of skills and competencies that permits excellent career opportunities and pursue postgraduate studies.


The study program is made up of 6 semesters. The first four semesters are common to all students. The last two semesters include several optional course units that allow the students to select a specific training profile. They can choose advanced training courses in Project and Mechanical Production, Energy and Fluid Technologies as well as such areas as Automation and Control & Robotics (tuition of these two courses depend on the number of students enrolled).

Professional Goals

Career prospects for the graduates from this program include performing middle- or upper management functions in companies engaged in industrial, commercial and service provision activities in such areas as:

  • Metalworking;
  • Transportation;
  • Special installations (lifts, rolling stairs, electropneumatics and hydraulics);
  • Industrial management and maintenance;
  • Project (industrial automation, compressed-air networks, electronics, mechanical construction, moulding, product and equipment development, fluid network, heating/air-conditioning systems, electrical machines);
  • Production planning and organisation;
  • Public works;
  • Technical/commercial activities;
  • Consultancy.
