Masters Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering

The Master in Electrical and Computer Engineering (M.EEC) aims to provide students with advanced and specialized training in different fields of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

The course is organized into three specializations: Energy, Automation and Telecommunications, Electronics and Computers. Each specialization represents a coherent training path that includes the skills necessary for the field of specialization and corresponds to employability profiles with recognized acceptance in the labor market (employability of 96% for graduates from 2018/2019). Each specialization has a set of structuring curricular units common to the training path of all its students, also enabling the reinforcement of training in non-nuclear domains of specialization.

Objectives

Objectives

Provide students with advanced, specialized and differentiated training in one of the following domains of Electrical and Computer Engineering (EEC): Automation, Energy, and Telecommunications, Electronics and Computers (TEC). In general, the student should acquire, with the necessary proficiency, knowledge of engineering sciences and technologies, both general and specific to specialization, management knowledge, and personal, professional and interpersonal skills and attitudes. The student should be able to use these skills in solving, anticipating and preventing complex problems in the domain of EEC and in the conception, design, implementation and operation of complex systems. Must be able to perform professional functions (including those recognized by professional associations) with great responsibility in complex contexts and with a focus on innovation and leadership roles in multidisciplinary projects in the domain of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Specialisations and Career Paths

Automation

automação_meec

The Automation Specialization focuses on topics such as the automation of industrial processes using robots on production lines, autonomous aerial, land and water vehicles, electric mobility, industrial information systems, home automation.

Energy

ENERGIA_MEEC

In the Energy Specialization, several subjects are dealt with, from the production of electric energy in hydroelectric power plants, wind or photovoltaic parks, or other non-renewable installations, to their consumption in domestic or industrial installations, also going through all the processes associated with their transportation, the management of electrical networks and energy markets.

Telecommunications, Electronics and Computers

TEC_MEEC

The Specialization in Telecommunications, Electronics and Computers addresses the technologies that support miniaturized electronic systems for an increasing range of equipment and applications as diverse as computers, the devices that support and use communications networks such as our mobile phones, Internet, microcomputers integrated in countless systems that surround us.

International Mobility

Mobility Agreements

Mobility Agreements

The experience of international mobility offers the chance to explore knowledge from a different point of view, to immerse yourself in a different culture and to broaden horizons, crossing borders and thus reducing distances. In this sense, as FEUP considers the internationalisation of the curriculum and skills to be essential in today's society, it offers students various opportunities for international mobility.

In the Master's Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, students can spend a semester in mobility, in the 2nd semester of the 1st year or in the 1st semester of the 2nd year, at a school with which there is an exchange agreement. It is also possible to spend an additional semester in mobility to complete the dissertation, with the defence taking place at FEUP.

Partnerships with companies

Partnerships with companies

Within the framework of various curricular units, it is customary to invite personalities linked to the business community and the public sector to encourage students to have contact with non-academic environments.

In addition, students can carry out their dissertation in a business environment or in research laboratories - and many of the works carried out are part of research projects with public or private funding. The research centres to which the lecturers are linked promote technology transfer projects with companies, which allows them to gauge the needs of the productive fabric and promote the presentation of topics for students' dissertations. Companies often contact lecturers in order to establish collaborations - ranging from consultancy to technology transfer. These projects may involve students from the programme and be the subject of dissertation topics (subject to the appropriate confidentiality conditions).

Take a look at some of the institutions where our Electrical and Computer Engineering students have carried out their dissertations or professional internships.
