Engenharia Aeroespacial
Education objectives
The Master''s Course in Aerospace Engineering aims to encourage critical thinking about the role of aerospace engineering in a more sustainable and intelligent future, but also in expanding the possibilities of space exploration.
At the end of the study cycle, students will have acquired knowledge and skills in areas that include:
- Design and integration of aircraft and avionics
- Flight dynamics, operations and communications
- Fluid dynamics and aerodynamics
- Design of structures, materials and propulsion systems Production and sustainability
- Space technology and applications
The Master in Aerospace Engineering presents 2 scientific areas of specialization: Avionic Systems and Mechanics of Aerospace.
Graduate students in Aerospace Engineering possess a unique combination of fundamental skills in advanced science and technology. This combination allows them to easily adapt to the constant evolution of aerospace processes and the demands of an ever-changing job market. As a result, they are always ready to face the challenges of technological innovation, thus ensuring a successful career.

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.
