Concentration Areas

• The Concentration Areas defy the broad domains of knowledge which our regular activities of teaching and research refer to throughout the Mechanical Engineering Program:

• Current Concentration Areas

Acoustics, Vibrations and Dynamics Fluids Mechanics Solid Mechanics and Mechanical Integrity of Materials

Project, Manufacturing·and Robotics Thermal Science and Thermal Engineering

• Interdisciplinary Area: High Performance Computing

• Computing Simulation in Engineering

Classes

• When it comes to each Concentration Areas, the classes are about:

• basic content;

• advanced content.

• When it comes to Course levels, the classes are classified as:

• level of Master;

• level of Doctoral

Master's Seminary

• As part of  the requirements to be a Master candidate, all students enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering Master Program must present a seminar. See specific regulamentation.

Final Paper

• The Master’s Dissertation is the last requirement of the course to be fulfilled by its students in order to obtain the Mechanical Engineering master’s degree.

• The Doctoral Thesis  is the last requirement of the course to be fulfilled by its students in order to obtain the Mechanical Engineering doctoral degree.

• The theme of the final paper (dissertation or thesis) must be decided between the students and their professor-advisor.

Academic Orientation

• Each student is accompanied by an academic advisor, that must be available to help them with any matters related to the course.

 PEM/COPPE/UFRJ Master’s Program is a stricto-sensu Graduate Program. Each student is intendent to pursue academic qualification and independence in research activities in one of the offered  Concentration Areas.
