Welcome to Pós-ECM!

Since its creation, the Joinville Campus of the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) has been playing an important role in the development of research and the training of engineers in the southern region of Brazil. It offers today seven undergraduate programs in Aerospace Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Railway and Subway Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Naval Engineering, Civil Infrastructure Engineering, and Transportation and Logistics Engineering.

With a strong multidisciplinary character, the Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering and Sciences (Pos-ECM) at the Joinville Campus aims to meet the industrial needs for professionals capable of conducting research and developing new technologies, offering academic preparation in three areas of concentration:

• Engineering Systems Development;

• Transport Phenomena; and

• Materials.

 

It is important to emphasize that the master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and Sciences complements the lines of research that have been conducted in the state, besides collaborating in the reduction of regional asymmetries, in regards to the conduction of research. Still, due to the strategic geographic position in the Joinville region, the Master’s course becomes especially attractive for several reasons. Firstly, because of the direct contact with the issues arising from the region’s industrial hub. Secondly, by the possibility of absorbing graduates from existing engineering courses in the region itself and from nearby regions, including the states of Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul.
