The Graduate
Program in Metallurgical Engineering at the Polytechnic School of USP in
Master and PhD levels was implemented in 1969. In 1972 it became the first
to be accredited by the Federal Council of Education in the engineering
field. The scope of the Program was extended to Graduation in Metallurgical
and Materials Engineering in 1990 and in 1995, a Course Recovery Plan was
implemented, which involved the transformation of several aspects of the
Program such as reformulation of disciplines, full-time advisors, research
organogram into five defined Research Groups and Lines, hiring of new
faculty members, number of scholarship students in full-time increase,
post-doctorate implementation, new laboratories implantation and
reformulation of existing ones.
Academic
structure
The Program
follows the general regulations of the University of São Paulo formalized in
