Bibliography
There are several areas within Industrial Engineering and Management in which the student might focus his thesis development. Therefore, the bibliography will be different in accordance with the research issue.
Teaching method
The unit includes research and development work with individual tutorial support from an advisor chosen by the student and accepted by the scientific commission of the course. The evaluation will be performed by public discussion of the Master''s thesis with a jury.
Evaluation method
The work developed is formally reported in the Master Dissertation, which is defended by the candidate in public exam before a jury who assigns the final grading, according to the general regulations of FCT and UNL.
Subject matter
The program is focused on thesis development, whose objectives are established by the supervisor in articulation with MIEGI’s Scientific Commission. The work development follows the conventional approach, encompassing the following stages:
Bibliographic research
Work development, either scientific or technological oriented
Validation
Public discussion
