Doutoramento em Engenharia Eletrotécnica e de Sistemas Inteligentes

This cycle of doctoral studies aims to provide advanced scientific training in the area of Electrical Engineering and Intelligent Systems. The great evolutionary dynamics verified in this field of knowledge shows that, currently, Intelligent Systems are pervasive in the state-of-the- art of the various areas that make up the scientific universe of Electrical Engineering, namely:

• Automation and Robotics
• Computers and Electronics
• Energy
• Materials and Devices
• Telecommunications

Doctorates in Electrotechnical Engineering and Intelligent Systems are qualified to perform functions in sectors that require high scientific and technological competence in the areas of specialization covered, namely in higher education, in laboratories and research institutes, in industrial and services and public administration. In order to achieve these skills, doctoral students are encouraged to innovate, research and permanently update their skills with a view to internationalization and the strengthening of national technological capacity. The research work carried out by these students is strongly interconnected with the activities of the associated R&D Units, recognized by the FCT, namely ISR-Coimbra, IT–Coimbra, INESC Coimbra, and CEMUC, and, whenever possible, related with R&D projects contracted through the UC or associated institutionst.
