Finding the way through knowledge, research and innovation.

Our Ph.D program in Computer Science is research-oriented and integrated with the Master in Computer Science. It is focused in four lines of investigation, namely: bio-inspired algorithms, models of machine learning, bioinformatics and biomedicine, and data science and applied mathematics. Our program is strongly supported by the activity carried out within four Strategic Research Focus Group (SRFG): Intelligent Systems, Bioinformatics, Machine Learning Models, and Optimization and Data Science

Research and Innovation of manufacturing processes and products require scientists and technologists capable of solving complex problems, and of proposing disruptive solutions in different areas of knowledge. While studying the Master of Science in Manufacturing Systems, students will participate in inspiring projects that provide them with the skills to successfully meet these and other next-generation manufacturing challenges, in fields such as Industry 4.0, Nanotechnology, Bioengineering and Industries such as Automotive and Aerospace.

Innovation is a determining capacity for companies that are in constant competition to attract more customers, delivering products and services with high value added. In the absence of innovations, companies could lag behind in increasingly dynamic and competitive business environments. Innovation confers advantages to companies that seek to maintain a high level of performance in current and emerging industries, in a context in which the technological revolution has placed us on the threshold of a new era, that of Industry 4.0 and the consequent transformation that will imply for organizations.

The Master in Innovation for Business Development (MID) develops skills to propose original ideas and projects, applying appropriate techniques and methodologies, to develop innovative solutions and ventures with high value added. It also develops the skills of these professionals to manage the mobilization of resources for entrepreneurship and the drive for changes necessary to transform the culture of organizations into a culture oriented to innovation.

Nowadays, any type of company, large, small, traditional or online, demands professionals with specialized knowledge in the areas of information technology management. And it does not matter if a company is directly focused on the area of technologies, the reality is that currently they all handle, manage and make use of various frontier technologies, generating a huge amount of information that needs to be processed and managed intelligently to support your business strategies. 

In this context, the Master in Information Technology Management is an educational alternative that arises as a response to the need of local, national and international companies to have professionals specialized in the areas of management and administration of information technologies.  Companies require the knowledge and skills of a person who knows how to communicate transversally and vertically within a company, managing and communicating the needs and solutions to problems related to emerging technologies.

The challenges faced by organizations in this day and age include the identification of strategic global partners, competitiveness in market globalization, energy costs, market demands and the increasing complexity of organizations. Therefore, the Master of Science in Quality Systems and Productivity is justified given the needs of the environment, contributing through resource efficiency in the areas of supply chain, quality and continuous improvement, engineering management, optimization and productive systems, considering the aspects of sustainability from a global, integrating, collaborative perspective.

There is a growing interest in the industry of engineers to direct, identify, and effectively implement projects, considering legal, ethical principles, leadership, innovation and sustainable development. This is further seen in large and / or multinational companies that also require engineers who are trained to be leaders of projects, with a mix of deep technical knowledge and soft skills.

To meet these needs, the Master in Engineering Management is created which seeks to develop in an engineer, communication skills, leadership and project management, combined with specialization in technical and analytical skills to improve their work areas.
