Approved by CAPES in 2012, the PPGEP-CAA, Graduate Program in Production Engineering at the Academic Center of Agreste is the first Academic Master's course in Production Engineering in the Northeast region of Brazil.

Candidates with an undergraduate degree in forestry engineering, biology, agronomy, industrial wood engineering, environmental engineering and related fields can enroll in the Master's course in Forest Engineering.

Promote the training of researchers and professional development in the area of ​​Production Engineering Develop scientific and technological studies aimed at application in companies Develop the student's concept of production with ethics, social and environmental responsibility Address the impacts of new production technologies on society, in terms of management, organization, and employment Train teachers for Higher Education Assign the titles of Master and Doctor in Production Engineering

The PPGEM - Graduate Program in Mineral Engineering aims at academic training at Master and Doctorate levels, qualifying graduates in the fundamentals and applications of Mineral Engineering, preparing them for the exercise of activities both in educational institutions and / or research as directly with the production system. The courses are accredited by CAPES. The Master in Mineral Engineering started its activities in March 1998 and the Doctorate in 2015; both provide training in two areas of concentration: Lavra de Minas and Mineral Treatment. The professional trained by this program must have a critical view in relation to sustainable development and its applications. The research work that has been developed has a strong support from companies, in the region and beyond, due to its immediate application in the resolution of mining engineering problems.

The Graduate Program in Mineral Engineering (PPGEMin) encompasses strictu sensu graduate courses at the Academic Master and Doctorate levels and has regular and special students. The main objectives of the Program are: Train high-level professionals to work in teaching, research, or technological development, within the scope of Mineral Engineering; Conduct scientific and technological research of an innovative nature, reflected in the production of knowledge linked to Brazilian needs; Contribute to the sustainability of mineral-based extractive industries, by generating and evaluating technologies and procedures that minimize adverse environmental and social impacts and maximize positive contributions; Dialogue and develop partnerships with the private sector, with governmental and third sector organizations, seeking to contribute to making the Brazilian mineral-based extractive industry more competitive, productive and sustainable; Contribute to a greater insertion of USP and the Polytechnic School in the international scientific and technological community, through cooperation agreements, personnel exchange, participation in examining boards, organization of technical-scientific events, performance in editorial boards of journals, and other initiatives. The Academic Master's program aims at mastering and carrying out technical-scientific work that demonstrates the ability to systematize the existing literature on the treated topic and the ability to use scientific and technological research methods and techniques. The Doctorate aims at mastering and carrying out technical-scientific research work that represents an original contribution to the state of the art of the treated topic.
