Description:

Sustainability within the built environment is core to the UFP school of Architecture and Urbanism Master Degree Program and this is reflected strongly across its teaching and research methodologies. During the learning process the students will have the chance to cross the boundaries of architecture and Urbanism through a series of joint design projects with related disciplines like civil engineering and environmental engineering. At the end of the study program the graduate will be able to integrate the key theoretical subjects of the course within a conscious team practical competence on project design. This sequence will culminate in the end-of-degree project and a final dissertation.

Learning outcomes:

* Design Project; * Freehand Drawing; * History and Theory of Architecture and Urbanism; * Building Construction; * Urban Rehabilitation; * Urbanism; * Sustainable Design Methods for Architecture and Urbanism

Description:

The 1st cycle in Computer Systems Engineering is adapted to the Bologna declaration and to the ECTS credit system and has a length of three years and 180 ECTS credits. The aim is to educate and form specialists in the areas of Information Technologies (IT) and Information Systems (IS) who are able to understand and respond to current challenges inside organizations raised by the shift to the Information Society. It is required that an engineer is able to analyse and solve problems while taking into account technical, economical and social criteria. This programme aims at educating such professionals, who will be able to know how to decide in such ways so to respect the balance among development and the use of technology and its ethical and social impact.

Learning outcomes:

1. To be able to apply knowledge and integrate the labor market in the professional areas of Data Communications Engineering, Software and Application Development, Software Architecture and Design, Multimedia Design and Systems Specialist. 2. To be able to solve concrete issues related to the design, development and management of Information Systems, as well as being able to support and communicate their solutions to such problems. 3. To be able to search, interpret and select the relevant information in the areas of Information Systems, Multimedia Communication, Computer Networks and Software Development Methodologies and Platforms, taking into account the scientific, social and ethical impact of solutions based upon such information. 4. To be able to communicate their ideas and solutions both to groups of specialists in IT and IS as well as to groups of conventional users. 5. To be able to use the knowledge acquired to lifelong learning.

Description:

There are two specialization branches: Multimedia Information Systems (MIS) and Mobile Computing (MC). In the end of the first year students are eligible to receive a Post-graduation diploma. The aim is to provide a solid education in advanced technologies related to multimedia information systems or mobile computing and wireless networks and applications, and to form engineering professionals with a wider range of competences.

Learning outcomes:

The 2nd cycle programme is composed of courses related to an advanced body of knowledge divided into two specialization areas: multimedia information systems and mobile computing. It also includes an internship in an organization which may be an enterprise, an industry or an academic setting. In what the multimedia information systems branch is concerned, the objective is to provide a specialized education, both in practical and academic terms, deepening concepts and technologies introduced in the scope of the first cycle of studies and introducing new advanced topics and themes, enabling future professionals to: 1. Reinforce their knowledge of technologies related to multimedia information systems, allowing them to fulfill roles in Multimedia Design, IT Consultancy, Human-Computer Interaction and Multimedia Interface Design and Systems Specialist, in the scope of future distributed interactive multimedia systems. 2. Develop research skills, allowing them to be prepared to develop original solutions, both in professional and academic scopes, particularly for the design, development and management of information systems. It is also intended to provide sufficient knowledge for them to be able to defend their solutions and communicate them effectively. This is achieved by making students participate in research projects, allowing them to acquire specific experiences and skills related to multimedia information systems. 3. Develop effective multimedia information systems for organizations characterized as multidisciplinary environments which involve both technological knowledge and well as project management skills. This is achieved by making students work in groups to fulfill project requirements. 4. Develop autonomous and lifelong learning skills related to multimedia information systems.
