Integrated Master in Physics Engineering

Started in the academic year 2006/2007. The minimum number of credits for the degree is 300 (5 years). The Master is accredited by the Ordem dos Engenheiros and the FEANI (European Federation of National Engineering Associations) in order to assign the EUR ING title (European Engineer). 

Objectives

To train Physical Engineer as multidisciplinary professionals possessing knowledge in several areas such as atomic and molecular physics, nuclear physics and plasma, physical interfaces, optics and optoelectronics, sensors, cryogenics and analytical techniques applied to health and cultural heritage, providing them with the following capabilities:

  • To design solutions through scientific and technical knowledge application for planning, construction, structures, machines and systems use and maintenance for society benefit;
  • To design and conduct scientific experiments and results interpretation;
  • To apply scientific, mathematical and technological knowledge in research and engineering process directed to problems detection and resolution;
  • To evaluate the operation and maintenance of systems, the impact of the engineering activities on social and environmental context and the economic viability of engineering projects;
  • To communicate across other engineering disciplines.

About the Department of Physics

The Physics Department (DF), formally created in 1986, was a pioneer in Portugal in teaching Physics Engineering. Presently, the DF carries out its teaching activities (1st, 2nd and 3rd cycles), fundamental and applied research and technological development in the fields of Physics, Physical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering. It is also dedicated to providing services and to scientific dissemination in these fields.

The department's scientific activity is essentially carried out in two research units, LIBPhys-UNL and CEFITEC. Research covers several areas, such as atomic and molecular physics, nuclear and plasma physics, surface and interface physics, laser and vacuum physics, instrumentation, analytical techniques applied to health and cultural heritage, medical instrumentation, medical imaging, machine learning, biosignals and tissue engineering.
