feup: engineering beyond.

2009

feup: identity

more than 80 years of history: Faculdade de Engenharia is the largest school of Universidade do Porto, and has significant autonomy; since 2000, feup has moved to a brand new campus, just outside the city centre, in eastern Porto, Portugal.

feup: identity

we put our money where our knowledge is: a 90.000m² campus, with excellent infrastructures. The campus conveys a 8-floor library with 500 reading spots and work cabinets, 9 departments, 25 computer rooms equipped with 500 computers, among other facilities and class rooms;

feup: growth

it’s all been worth it: with a total investment of 8 million € in the last years feup has kept a steady pace towards excellence and innovation, namely: dozens of spin-offs, active or pending patent and brands, and R&D units which involve 80% of the faculty;

feup: performanceknowledge is our business: feup has adapted its courses to Bologna and currently offers a solid project of graduate and postgraduate education :

• 3 undergraduate courses (1st Cycle), 2 of which are in cooperation

• 9 integrated master in engineering (1st + 2nd Cyles)

• 8 MSc programmes (2nd Cycle)

• 18 PhD programmes (3rd Cycle)

and we mean it: our excellence is proven by the excellent rate of employment (nearly half of graduate students are recruited before even finishing their studies).

feup: performance

thriving for a better world: feup firmly believes that knowledge enhances its power through its investment on research and development – our research clusters indicate a rich spectrum of focus areas: energy&environment, transports&communications, electronics&computing and health&life sciences, among others.

feup: performancebuilding bridges, in and out: feup provides significant support to the community, especially in close cooperation with national industry; a wide range of services is offered, such as: software and prototypes development, expert consulting, technical and economic feasibility studies, chemical analysis and other laboratory support services. feup also holds, on campus, several international scientific events each year.

Launched on the Portuguese market in 2007, the new Super Bock alcohol-free beer is the result of an innovative patent pending production process, developed in a partnership of Unicer with the Chemical Engineering department of the School of Engineering (FEUP). This new process keeps all the original flavour of the beer with the convenience of a 0º alcohol graduation.
