Key Summary
What is Electrical and Computer Engineering?
It is the Engineering area that develops the activities of conception, design, implementation, and utilization of devices and systems that involve electrical energy in their operation and also that resort to computers to serve a very wide range of applications. Electrical and Computer Engineers are responsible for the enormous technological revolution that we have witnessed in the last decades in fields as varied as mobile communications, renewable energies, electrical mobility, or the increasing automation of our industries.
Who should apply?
Candidates with basic training in Electrical and Computer Engineering who wish to acquire the necessary skills to respond to the job market in one of the 3 areas of specialization offered at M.EEC: Energy, Automation and Telecommunications, Electronics and Computers.
Generic Objectives
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, and 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 structured curricular units common to the training path of all its students, also enabling the reinforcement of training in non-nuclear domains of specialization.
Accreditation
This study program is accredited by the Higher Education Assessment and Accreditation Agency (A3ES).
Course units belonging to the academic fields defined in the active curricular structure(s) in the current academic year
- Automation and Control
- Systems Electronics and Digital Systems
- Power
- Electrical and Computer Engineering
- Industrial Management
- Informatics
- Other Technical Areas
- Any Scientific Area of U.Porto
- Telecommunications
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.
A Master in Electrical and Computer Engineering has a wide range of options to develop your professional activity in several domains of EEC. Opportunities for professional opportunities include scientific and technological research in several national and foreign institutions, the conception, design and development of systems in their various hardware and software components, as well as the exploration and management of networks and communications and energy systems. . As a very dynamic area of Engineering and constantly evolving, there are also countless opportunities to develop innovative ideas and products and create new businesses. Although M.EEC opens many doors to the corporate job market, it is also the entry point for those who want to deepen an area of specialization and pursue a PhD program in EEC.
