The Bachelor degree in Electro-Mechanical Engineering is based on a teaching model that gives priority to the development of competences, through components with a strong predominance in the experimental and design method.
Learning objectives are developed through:
– Performing group work, promoting discussion of opinions, and teamwork;
– Research and development of solutions to practical real-life problems through small projects;
– Written and oral presentation of reports and papers;
– Experimental implementation of practical laboratory work under the guidance of the teacher;
– Seminars and Workshops in which specialized speakers are invited;
– Study visits to institutions in the area.

Graduates in Electro-Mechanical Engineering may apply for master’s degrees (2nd cycle studies) in the Electro-Mechanical Engineering or in related areas of Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering.
