Bachelor Electrotechnical Engineering

The Degree in Electrotechnical Engineering, of Lusofona University, is a programme that has a solid scientific foundation in Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science. The study plan approaches the latest subjects in science and technology, such as Robotics and Automation, Power Systems, and Telecommunications. This is a programme turned to the future, that trains professionals with the skills to act in a plethora of areas and, as such, with high demand and employability. Our graduates may also apply to the Order of Engineers or the Order of Technical Engineers, according to their established rules. The course has a strong laboratorial component, which allied to a solid theoretical framework, allows one to acquire critical thinking and advanced problem-solving skills.

This study cycle accepts candidates who submit their application via the institutional entry admission and have obtained a positive score on the following set:



Candidates may also apply via the regimes of institution/programme transfer or via Special Application, in accordance with the legal regulations in force (holders of higher education degree, holders of a Technological Specialization Course, holders of Professional Higher Technician Course or Over 23 years of Age). Candidates who meet the requirements defined in the International Student Statute can also apply.

This programme is aimed at all those who whish to attain a degree in Electrical Engineering, either in the branch of Energy and Power, or Telecommunications. This is a fundamental step for successful career, in this field, and also opens the door for a future Masters Degree.

The graduates in Electrical Engineering, from the Lusófona University, are fully able to develop a broad range of activities, namely: research and development, planning, project management and coordination, design and maintenance of electrical and electronic equipment. Many find positions in teaching institutions, research laboratories, electrical and electronic industries, public service, construction companies, power production and distribution companies, telecommunications companies, consulting firms (in both financial and technological domains). In fact, they act in many fields, such as the foundational domains of Electrical Engineering, like analog and digital electronics, electrical machines, power production and transport, automation and control, robotics, signal processing, telecommunications. Moreover, given their solid scientific background, in both Physics and Mathematics, they able to tackle problems in operations research, project management and data science.

The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering enables the enrollment for a Masters Degree (2nd cycle) in the area of Engineering and Natural Sciences, not necessarily in the main area of the undergraduate training.

The classrooms for lectures and exercises¿ classes are fully equipped with whiteboards and projection equipment. Moreover, given the strong application component of the degree, several fully equipped laboratories are available, that allow the realization of laboratorial classes, projects, and research activities. Namely, the following laboratories are available: Physics Laboratory, that supports the curricular units on Physics and Electromagnetics; Electronics Laboratory, that supports most of the curricular units of the common branch; Automation and Robotics Laboratory, that supports the curricular units on Automation and Robotics, as well as the ¿flame extinguisher robot¿ competition; Electrical Machines Laboratory, that supports the curricular units of the Energy and Power branch of the degree, namely Electrical Machines, Electrical Power Systems and Electrical Design; Networks and Telecommunications Laboratory, that supports the curricular units of Foundations of Telecommunications, Telecommunications Systems, Data and Network Communications and Operating Systems;

The professors of the programme engage in research and development activities, in the areas of Robotics and Automation, Artificial Intelligence, Power Systems and Applications, Telecommunications and Electromagnetics. There are also opportunities, for the students, to participate in the research work under development.

The development of active policy of student integration in the job market is one of the objectives of this programme. Hence, in spite of the existing collaboration protocols, that aim at providing our students with internships and training in public and private institutions, our programme also develops punctual agreements in order to facilitate our students¿ future integration in the job market.
