Propose and conduct updated and representative research activities in relation to existing scientific knowledge, contributing to regional and national scientific and technological development in the area of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Concentration area
The PGEEC has a concentration area called Electrical Systems and Computing. This concentration area seeks to encompass the study, research and development of issues of an electrical, biomedical and computational nature, being adherent to the subjects developed by the program's professors and to which their activities are directed.
Lines of research
1) Electrical power systems: aims to contribute to scientific advancement, of a theoretical and practical nature, in problems associated with electrical power systems, such as modeling, analysis and control of electrical and computational systems, among others. The focus is the study and proposition of new techniques, aiming to optimize resources, operation and performance in this class of systems.
2) Control, automation and computational intelligence: aims at theoretical and practical scientific advancement, involving the themes of control systems, automation systems, computational intelligence and security. Considers problems of modeling, analysis, synthesis of techniques and algorithms, optimization and applications in these themes. Includes, mainly, theory and applications of control and automation, robotics, formal verification, computational simulation, computational intelligence techniques, architecture and security in computer networks.
3) Biomedical systems: aims to contribute to scientific, theoretical and practical advancement for the resolution of problems related to the biomedical area, both through the analysis and modeling of biomedical problems and by proposing new methods and processes to aid in the prevention, diagnosis, therapy of diseases and human well-being.
Didactic regime
The Program has a semester-based academic regime, with the academic year consisting of 1st and 2nd semesters.
The minimum number of credits required for the Program is 48 (forty-eight), according to the following distribution: 06 (six) credits in mandatory subjects; at least 18 (eighteen) credits in elective subjects, and 24 (twenty-four) credits attributed to the approval of the defense of the master's dissertation. Each credit in a subject corresponds to fifteen (15) hours of scheduled activities, including theoretical and practical classes, seminars and special topics.
Student body
The PGEEC student body is made up of regular and special students.
Regular students are those selected according to the criteria of the public selection notice, assessed by the Board, and duly enrolled.
Special students are those selected according to the criteria of the public selection notice, assessed by the Board, and duly enrolled in a subject, without the right to obtain a master's degree.
Special students are subject, where applicable, to the rules of Unioeste and the Program applicable to regular students, and are entitled to a certificate of approval in the subject, issued by the Academic Secretary.
Special students may take a maximum of 50% of the credits required for the course in question.
The disciplines eligible to receive special students will be defined by the Board and made public in a specific Notice for the selection process of special students.
Course completion
The student will complete the course upon meeting the following requirements: Passing at least 24 credits in subjects, with 6 (six) credits in mandatory subjects and at least 18 (eighteen) credits in elective subjects, including subjects validated by the Board, in accordance with the specific regulations of the program;
Submission of a certificate of proficiency in English;
Proof of relevant scientific production, as described in the specific regulations of the program;
Completion of a teaching internship for scholarship holders, as required by the funding agencies.
Passing the qualifying exam;
Public defense of the master's dissertation, with approval by the examining board.
Graduates of the Master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering have training based on advanced tools and knowledge of modeling and analysis, which allows them to understand, propose and conduct engineering projects and applications that may involve electrical, mechanical and computational structures. The professional is able to receive and interpret information, transforming it into knowledge to be applied in today's globalized world, quickly and effectively, considering technical, ethical and social aspects. Given the profile of the course and the characteristics of the tri-border region, the graduate professional will easily be able to join projects, activities and ventures aimed at regional technological development, as a highly qualified professional for the generation and development of new technologies that are in demand in the region, whether in the business environment or in higher education teaching.
Disciplines
In the first year of the course, the student's activities are focused on completing courses and preliminary studies on the subject of the master's dissertation. The courses to be taken by the student are selected with the support of a supervisor, based on the student's profile and research topic. The courses are offered annually over two academic semesters, seeking to follow an organization of increasing complexity. Each course has a number of credits assigned, according to the workload. The credits are assigned to the student who passes the course.
