Started in the academic year 2006/2007. The minimum number of credits for the degree is 120 (2 years).
Objectives
Environmental Engineering studies environmental problems integrating them in its ecological, social, economic and technological dimensions in order to promote sustained and balanced development. The Integrated Master in Environmental Engineering of FCT NOVA aims to train engineers able to design, plan, deploy, manage and implement solutions taking the environment as an object of work. The integrated Master follows the Bologna Process requirements of the Degree in Environmental Engineering established in 1978. This course is one of the oldest and most prestigious in Environmental Engineering at national and international level, accredited by the Ordem dos Engenheiros since 1999.
The MEA of FCT NOVA divides in two areas of expertise:
- Sanitary Engineering, emphasizing the management and treatment of water, wastewater and waste as well as health hydraulic and water resources management;
- Environmental Systems Engineering, focused on the management and environmental economics, environmental auditing, information systems and environmental modeling.
Masters’ curricular organization is based on credit units (ECTS) giving students the opportunity to participate in mobility programs within European Union. The Master in Environmental Engineering is organized as an integrated course of five years, corresponding to a global effort of 300 ECTS.
After the 1st cycle, corresponding to 180 ECTS, the degree in Environmental Engineering Sciences is obtained and the Masters’ degreed with the completion of the integrated study cycle.
