Bachelor in Informatics Engineering (Evening Classes)

The Bachelor’s Degree in Informatics Engineering (Evening Classes) aims to develop Informatics Engineers able to carry out their professional activity with a high degree of scientific and technical competence. The course qualifies students to acquire a professional specialization and encourages the development of competences crucial to the practice
of the career of Informatics Engineer. In particular, the scientific spirit, creativity, sense of responsibility, the ability of autonomous learning, the ability to work in group or in multi- disciplinary teams, among others. Moreover, the Degree allows students to obtain the required competences and understanding skills, in the area of Computer Engineering, necessary to pursue their studies in higher level courses.
The curricular plan is organized in six academic semesters, the first three with curricular units common to all students, and the last three with curricular units specific to each of the existing branches: (1) Networks and Systems Administration, (2) Application Development and (3) Information Systems. In fact, students can freely choose, according to their profile, the branch they wish to attend. The last semester of the study plan, common to all the branches, includes the “Project or Traineeships” course unit, under which students have the possibility to undertake an internship in a company, or to develop a research project, internally in the institution. In both alternatives, the evaluation requires a report and a public presentation/defence before a jury.

Minimum Classifications – Application grade: 95 points; Entrance examinations: 95 points

The curriculum of the Bachelor’s Degree in Informatics Engineering (Evening Classes) develops over six semesters. In the first three, common to all branches, it is intended that students acquire generic and practical knowledge in the area of Informatics Engineering, as well as elementary concepts of Mathematics and Management. The last three semesters are of specialization, with curricular units that allow the development of skills specific of the branch in question, namely: Networks and Systems Administration, Application Development and Information Systems. In the last semester of the course, students learn the fundamentals of ethics and deontology of the profession, and carry out a project or an internship that allows them to apply knowledge and skills acquired throughout their training, in solving a problem in the area of Informatics Engineering. At the same time, the curriculum also allows the acquisition of more generic skills, transversal to all branches, such as: the ability to solve problems even in new and unfamiliar situations, the ability to learn throughout life with a high degree of autonomy, the ability to communicate orally and in writing, the ability to work as a team, among others. It should be noted that the learning objectives and competences mentioned above are acquired and developed in the different classes (theoretical, theoretical-practical and practical / laboratory), as well as in autonomous working hours.
