Objectives (Overview, Evolution and Trends)

The Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Department ("PMT") of the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo ("EPUSP") is responsible for the Metallurgical and Materials Engineering "strictu-sensu" graduate area, offering Masters and Doctorate graduate programs with "CAPES" concept 7.

 The main objectives of the program are:

·         Training of high level human resources in the areas of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering;

·       Training of university professors and researchers;

·       Training of researchers for public institutions and industrial research centers;

·       Carrying out scientific and technological research;

 

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 the Graduate Regiment; The deliberative organs are the Graduate Council of the University of São Paulo and the Graduate Committee of the Polytechnic School.
