The training program in “Development of Micro and Nanostructured Materials in Cleanroom Environment” is a Specialization Course closely related to scientific and technological areas with the Scientific Area of ??Engineering Physics, particularly focused on the business and scientific-technological world fields. The course aims to connect different skills in the area of ??physics and technology of materials in a controlled environment, with a focus on acquiring skills and knowledge that are increasingly important for the technological development of the country.
The course will comprise the following main contents, in the form of Curricular Units:
1 – Introduction to working in a clean room
2 – Material deposition techniques
3 – Techniques for manufacturing microstructures
4 – Material characterization techniques
The training program will have a strong experimental and practical component, where students will acquire direct experience with all the aforementioned techniques as well as the respective procedures.
A new industrial revolution is underway that represents a historic opportunity. We must respond to the urgent and unavoidable need for the country and its companies to have human resources trained to respond to this new revolution. Automation has become a central and unavoidable area of activity on the world industrial scene. The Industrial Automation Specialisation Course (CEAI) advocates training in the context of industrial systems and processes and is based on the principle of updating the knowledge of industry professionals or retraining other professionals who wish to work in the field of industrial automation.
CEAI aims to provide basic training, with a strong experimental character, in the fundamental areas of factory floor automation (actuation technologies, monitoring and control technologies, robotics, industrial communication networks) and in more advanced areas such as industrial computing and vision and perception systems.
The CEAI curricular units have a theoretical component, where concepts and exercises are presented, and practical classes where trainees carry out laboratory work in fundamental areas of automation such as actuation, monitoring, command and control technologies; industrial communication networks; robotics and industrial informatics, as well as concepts related to industry 4.0 (internet of things, digitalisation or digital manufacturing).
Quantum computing emerged in the 1980s with new paradigms for computing and transmitting information transmission, both with the potential to revolutionize the most diverse areas of society. Currently, with the imminent realization of innovative quantum technologies on a large scale, there is a massive interest on the part of several organizations worldwide, in particular the multinationals in the area of ??information technology, to invest heavily in the preparation of specialized staff, able to deal with the new methods and techniques present in these technologies.
In view of its interdisciplinary character, the specialization programme in Quantum Computing aims to open new horizons of work, preparing the student for activities involving quantum information, problems of information coding and cryptography as well as the specification and logical verification of systems. It will also provide a starting point for students who want to start or continue their training and research path (e.g. in master's and doctoral projects) in a rapidly expanding research area.
The specialization course falls upon the different areas of Optics, with potential interest to different types of companies. It aims to promote the interaction between the university and industry, through training, completing the education offer of the University of Aveiro, with special focus on the areas related with Engineering physics, biomedical, mechanics, chemistry, and electronics, in topics such as optoelectronics, applied optics, materials science, sensors, communications, among others.
The general objective is related to the development of skills and acquisition of knowledge that streamline activities related to optical technologies, research, development or application.
At the end of this course, the student should have knowledge of fundamental concepts of optics, devices, optical and optoelectronic systems, as well as their integration, allowing the achievement of a core of competences, especially in the operational understanding of optical devices, systems and experimental techniques.
The overall objective of the course is to develop skills and knowledge that streamline activities related to optical technologies, whether in research, development or practical application. At the end of the course, students should be able to understand and operate devices, systems and experimental techniques related to optical technologies.
This course represents a unique opportunity for those who wish to specialise in an area of high potential and applicability, and the University of Aveiro is committed to providing excellent training, preparing its students for the challenges of the future.
Specialisation courses (level 7) and micro-credentials (levels 5, 6 or 7) can be part of continuing professional development;
PRR funding cannot be combined with other European funds;
There are scholarships available to which candidates can apply, with the possibility of a 50% or 100% refund of the tuition fees paid (supporting information at
https://www.ua.pt/pt/aveiroalliance/bolsas-impulsoadultos);
It allows for the respective accounting to assess the employee's annual entitlement to 40 hours of continuing training.
