Bachelor in Engineering Physics
Education objectives
This degree aims to provide a solid foundation in the areas of Physics and Engineering that allows the progression of studies to the Master''''s or professional activity that does not require skills of a 2nd cycle.
Areas of study include expansion of knowledge of Physics learned in Secondary Studies and introduction to modern Physics such as Quantum Mechanics, Atomic and Molecular Physics and Nuclear Physics among others. In the field of Engineering, students have contact with subjects of Engineering Physics, Electronics, Informatics and Mechanics, getting a broad and multidisciplinary base characteristic of the Physical Engineer.
In the 3rd year, students have an internship in a business or research environment within the curriculum profile of the NOVA FCT.

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 two 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.
