Welcome to the Mechanical Engineering Department home page.

The Mechanical Engineering Department is a structuring unit of the School of Engineering at the University of Minho. Its mission is the development of the core scientific areas in Mechanical Engineering through three vectors: teaching at both graduate and post graduate levels; research and development; partnership with the industry.

Its main teaching project is the Mechanical Engineering Integrated MSc. In addition, other projects are of the utmost relevance: Biomedical Engineering and Materials Engineering Integrated MSc’s. All these projects are structured accordingly to the guidelines established by the Bologna Protocol.

The research activities are supported by the research center funded by the Portuguese Science Foundation (FCT): CT2M. Furthermore, two other specifically targeted projects are embedded in the Department: The Center for Residue Valorization (CVR) and the Network for Bioenergy (CEBio). Finally, the Chemical Analysis Laboratory is fully accredited by the IPAC.

On behalf of all the staff and collaborators, I invite you to know a little bit of us through this web page.
