GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (DEEC) of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto (FEUP) offers a Doctoral Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering (PDEEC), covering the major areas of Electrical and Computer Engineering. PDEEC has a duration of 4 years. The first year is organized in 8 advanced mandatory and elective courses distributed by two semesters. The other 3 years correspond to the development of the Ph.D. thesis research work.

The research environment made available to PDEEC students comprises the physical and human resources of DEEC and of a number of research institutes associated with FEUP:

• INESC TEC (Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science – inesctec.pt),
• IT (Instituto de Telecomunicações – it.pt)
• SYSTEC (Research Center for Systems and Technology – http://systec.fe.up.pt)
• INEB (Biomedical Engineering Institute – ineb.up.pt).

The CISTER (Research Centre in Computing Systems – www.cister.isep.ipp.pt/) is a host Research Centre associated with PDEEC.

FEUP and DEEC have on-going cooperation programs with the following USA Universities: CMU – Carnegie-Mellon University, MIT – Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and UTA – University of Texas at Austin. A double degree (PhD) in ECE is offered with the University of Carnegie-Mellon under the CMU|Portugal Program. (More information may be found in www.cmuportugal.org).
