The Master in Informatics Engineering aims to deepen the knowledge and skills in Informatics Engineering from a scientific and technological base conferred by a degree (BSc.) in Informatics Engineering, Computer Science or similar. The program aims to train qualified professionals to practice Informatics Engineering with high quality of scientific, technical, ethical and human skills in the broad spectrum of job profiles identified for Informatics Engineering. The program still provides the students with an education that, by its cohesion and solidity, enable those who wish to pursue careers as PhD researchers. In order to align this MSc with the market demand, the program offers a flexible and heterogeneous curriculum organized in five specialization tracks.
Program Educational Objectives
The Master in Informatics Engineering graduates will:
Demonstrate high-level professional skills. Graduates are highly qualified Informatics Engineers, integrating into the global labor market quickly and predictably, applying appropriate approaches to the challenges of the twenty-first century, in which knowledge and information technologies are ubiquitous.
Reveal recognized human, societal and environmental attitudes. Graduates demonstrate social skills and ethics, professional and environmental practice through the promotion of rigorous working methods, teamwork culture and constructive social and environmental attitudes.
Demonstrate the ability to learn throughout life. Graduates demonstrate ongoing evaluation of culture and learning/improvement lifelong accepting naturally the amendments.
Pursue professional achievement. Fulfilling the mission of the ISEP, graduates are involved in interaction with universities, companies and research facilities and national and international development, thus stimulating entrepreneurship, leadership, innovation, research and development in national or international context.
Student Outcomes
1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics, by applying appropriate, state of the art informatics engineering concepts, practices and tools.
2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors, namely:
-- Analyzing and synthesizing the problem and requirements,
-- Design a solution (e.g. maintenance, re-engineering) to the problem, by adopting appropriate state of the art informatics engineering concepts, practices and tools.
3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences, particularly using syntactic and semantically rigorous informatics engineering languages, artifacts and practices.
4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies, namely pondering, synthesizing and evaluating existing up to date knowledge and tools related to the problem and solution.
