Introduction
The Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the New School of Science & Technology | FCT NOVA lasts for three years and corresponds to the first cycle resulting from the disintegration of the Integrated Master in Mechanical Engineering. It starts operating in the academic year 2021/22 and is accredited for 6 years by the Agency for Assessment and Accreditation of Higher Education (A3ES).
Mechanical Engineering has application in all areas of economic activity. To meet this universality, the course offers comprehensive preparation. In the 3rd year, the student can choose the one corresponding to a curricular unit from a wide range of other units offered by the faculty for other courses.
Also in the 3rd year, an internship is offered in a company and, thus, contact with the business reality and with the activity of engineers in that environment. The course culminates in a product development project in a collaborative environment.
The Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering (2nd cycle) will be the natural continuation of the Licentiate Degree, however this, although at university level, can also result in a direct exit to the labor market. The mechanical engineering training area has shown very high levels of employability.

Program Outcome
- Offer a comprehensive preparation in the fields: mechanics of solids and fluids, applied thermodynamics, structural mechanics, mechanical vibrations, characteristics and behavior of materials and manufacturing processes, without forgetting technical drawing, as an important form of communication of the mechanical engineer.
- Provide experimental or computational work, fundamental in the formation of an engineer.
- Offer solid basic training in engineering sciences, and more specifically in mechanical engineering, which allows the graduate to specify, analyze and solve problems, even if they are new to him, and to achieve an attitude of autonomy and critical thinking, so that can be successful anywhere in the world.
- Provide an integrated vision of engineering, by carrying out a product development project and an internship in a company, in addition to the careful sequence of curricular units.
- Preparing not only the engineer, but also the person, developing soft-skills through the complementary training provided by the FCT Curriculum Profile.
