Mechanical Engineering University of Porto

Overview

The scope of mechanical engineering allows students a wide variety of career options, in which continuing education must be assured. Regardless of the particular path taken after graduation, the training provides the tools and creative thinking that allows designing a product or system, which means that the skills of mechanical engineers are of interest even in non- engineering activities, such as insurance, banking and others.

Objectives

The 2nd cycle of studies in Mechanical Engineering (M.EM) main goals are:

• To rejuvenate and modernize the training given to future Mechanical Engineers by significantly increasing the technical and scientific density of its ‘specializations;
• Meet the Industry needs, either in the emerging technological areas from mechanics or in the areas of research at DEMec, following the installation of many development centers and production units of several national and international companies in the north of Portugal;
• Marking a clear differentiation and appreciation of the cycle of study in relation to similar Polytechnic Education, particularly through the technical and scientific dimension of the specializations;

• Transfer the scientific excellence of DEMec (and FEUP) to the specializations, namely its human, computational and experimental resources.

• Machine Design
• Aeronautic and Vehicle Structure
• Automation
• Manufacturing
• Production Engineering & Management
• General Mechanical Engineering
