Master in Electromechanical Engineering - Specialization in Building Services Engineering

Course Objectives

The study cycle that enclose and connects different specialties, recovers and enhances the benefits of interdisciplinarity, particularly in the areas of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), fluid networks, electrical installations, home automation, data communications, among others, from the stage of design to construction and maintenance. The main objectives of the Master in Building Services Engineering are: Ensure a professional specialization, capable of allowing an interdisciplinary intervention in various specialties of the area; Train professionals able to contribute to the improvement of the quality of buildings and their equipments, in operation, comfort, safety and rational use of energy requirements; Addressing an urgent need of the market, by training professionals with a comprehensive and appropriate profile in engineering-related facilities and equipment in buildings.
The Master in Building Services Engineering lasts for 2 years, is organized into 4 academic semesters and has a curricular structure with a total of 120 credits. This course comprises a Specialization Course consisting of 14 curricular units, corresponding to 65% of the credits (78 ECTS), and a research work (a dissertation, a project or an internship), corresponding to 35% of credits (42 ECTS). This research work is developed under the guidance of one or two instructors, with the support of the Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering laboratories of ISEC or in partnership with an industrial unit, an
institution or a research organization.
