Objectives

The advanced education in Materials Engineering proposed by M.EMAT prepares engineers to meet the challenges of modern society:

• to think and operate in the broad field of Materials Engineering;
• to prevent, analyse and solve engineering problems in diverse contexts, including the most relevant social, scientific and ethical
  issues;
• to develop optimisation and innovation projects for materials and processes, and assess their economic, social and
  environmental impact;
• to interact with peers within multidisciplinary teams, in a collaborative, ethically and professionally responsible manner.

Partnerships with companies

In accordance with the Department’s strategy, based on a close relationship with the business sector, M.EMAT provides the development of Masters dissertations  in an industrial environment, supports short duration industrial internships, organizes study visits to companies and promotes events that enable interaction between students and industrials working in the most diverse Materials Engineering operational areas.

The majority of the dissertations undertaken during the second semester are carried out in an industrial context, which is one of the advantages of this programme.

Specially noteworthy is the recognition by industry of the quality of training provided by M.EMAT. This is shown by the awarding of prizes to the best students on the course.  The “Professor Horácio Maia e Costa” prize is awarded by FERESPE (Fundação de Ferro e Aço, Lda.), to the graduate with the highest grade, and the “CMW Foundries” prize to the best student in Foundry course, awarded by Foundry Cruz Martins e Wahl, Lda.

Some companies where students have worked on their dissertations during the last year are included in the following list:
