Key Summary

    About : The Degree in Mechanical Engineering focuses on the application of engineering principles to design, analyze, and manufacture mechanical systems. This program provides students with hands-on experience and theoretical knowledge, allowing them to tackle real-world challenges in various industries.
    Career Outcomes : Graduates may pursue careers as mechanical engineers, design engineers, project managers, or manufacturing engineers. Opportunities exist in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and energy, where they can apply their skills in product development and system optimization.

The Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the New School of Science & Technology | FCT NOVA lasts for three years and corresponds to the first cycle resulting from the disintegration of the Integrated Master in Mechanical Engineering. It starts operating in the academic year 2021/22 and is accredited for 6 years by the Agency for Assessment and Accreditation of Higher Education (A3ES).

Mechanical Engineering has application in all areas of economic activity. To meet this universality, the course offers comprehensive preparation. In the 3rd year, the student can choose the one corresponding to a curricular unit from a wide range of other units offered by the faculty for other courses.

Also in the 3rd year, an internship is offered in a company and, thus, contact with the business reality and with the activity of engineers in that environment. The course culminates in a product development project in a collaborative environment.

The Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering (2nd cycle) will be the natural continuation of the Licentiate Degree, however this, although at university level, can also result in a direct exit to the labor market. The mechanical engineering training area has shown very high levels of employability.
