Master in Industrial Engineering and Management
Education objectives
The cross-sectional profile of Industrial Engineering implies that professionals in this area are searched for by very diverse organizations, from telecommunications companies to the automotive industry or consultancy companies. Therefore, the objective of MEGI is to train professionals with multidisciplinary skills that allow them to:
- To work in different sectors of activity, from the traditional industry to the financial sector
- To combine technical engineering skills with a business vision and knowledge of the market in which they operate
- To have a clear understanding of big data and its implications, notably the challenges of Industry 4.0
- To be very focused on processes, from design to implementation and control
- To select and propose solutions that are technically and economically competitive
- To have an entrepreneurial spirit, being able to identify ideas and opportunities, understanding the challenges of new projects
- To design, coordinate, and execute business and/or R&D projects
Career opportunities
The cross-sectional training in Industrial Engineering and Management leads to the diversification of the professional opportunities associated with it. The activities carried out may be either of a more technical profile or more management related, in different sectors of activity:
- Automotive and component''s industry; chemistry; food industry; metalworking and electromechanical, among others
- Engineering consultancy companies, industrial management, and information systems
- Transport services sector; financial; hospitals and health facilities; Airlines; logistics and distribution; project management; retailers; certification bodies
- Teaching or research activity
- Activity in the public sector

Evaluation rules
The evaluation of all UCs is continuous for all the components that integrate it, and it must be completed by the last day of the school term of the academic semester.
The continuous evaluation of a UC must include a minimum of three elements in the set of evaluation components, on dates adequately spaced throughout the period of classes.
All UCs with a theoretical-practical evaluation component must provide, in addition, a form of evaluation of this component by exam, to be carried out after the period of classes (Examination of Appeal).
All requirements and conditions related to the evaluation of the UC, namely the minimum weights and classifications, if any, of each component, as well as the Frequency conditions, are defined a priori and, mandatorily, published in the Discipline Form.
For each UC, combinations of three evaluation components are allowed: (i) Theoretical-practical evaluation; (ii) Laboratory or project evaluation; (iii) Summative assessment.
The final Dissertation (or Project) involves a public discussion with a Jury.
