Programa doutoral em engenharia electrotécnica e de computadores

The research environment made available to PDEEC students comprises the physical and human resources of DEEC and of a number of research institutes associated with FEUP: INESC TEC (Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science – inesctec.pt), IT (Instituto de Telecomunicações – it.pt) SYSTEC (Research Center for Systems and Technology – INEB (Biomedical Engineering Institute – ineb.up.pt). The CISTER (Research Centre in Computing Systems - is a host Research Centre associated with PDEEC. FEUP and DEEC have on-going cooperation programs with the following USA Universities: CMU - Carnegie-Mellon University, MIT - Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and UTA - University of Texas at Austin. A double degree (PhD) in ECE is offered with the University of Carnegie-Mellon under the CMU|Portugal Program. (More information may be found in Courses organization: PDEEC courses are organized in two semesters, corresponding to 60 ECTS, and the students are required to take three mandatory courses: Seminars, Research Plan and Special Topics (22.5 ECTS). These courses have double occurrence (may be taken in any semester), but students can only enrol in them once. Seminars and Special Topics typycally precede Research Plan, which is normally taken in the second semester. Optional courses, totalling 37.5 ECTS, need to be selected from a set of courses offered by PDEEC. Any course from a doctoral program of U.Porto can be selected, subject to aproval by the PDEEC Secientific Committee. Seminars is a 7.5 ECTS course organized into modules offered by the programme Transferable Skills for Engineering (TSE) The students need to complete 4.5 ECTS from TSE. The other 3 ECTS correspond to work with the supervisor or a tutor. The Special Topics course (7.5 ECTS) aims at offering new fields of study not available in the curriculum. It needs a program defined by a supervisor/tutor approved by the PDEEC Scientific Committee . The Scientific Committee...
